VICE-PRESIDENT LENI ROBREDO
ED GARCIA
Once in a rare while, we come across servant leaders in our land who have the capacity to inspire a generation. In VP LENI ROBREDO, we have such a person whose integrity, honest hard work, and capacity for compassion elicits both admiration and affection.
Ever since her husband’s tragic death catapulted her into the public sphere, she has not hesitated to give of herself to people and country, becoming a hesitant but committed public servant in the process. Her deep faith has given her an anchor in life so that she can surmount both tragedy and adversity, giving an example to our young people in search of contemporary models or examples with sterling lives in our midst.
In the process of writing a modest book, entitled Servant Leader: Leni Robredo published by San Anselmo Press and launched on the feast of Our Lady’s Immaculate Conception on 8 December 2020; I was truly awed by the amazing achievements of VP Leni in her efforts to serve those in the “fringes of society” — as Pope Francis has counseled those working in the public domain.
This period of the pandemic has caused much heartbreak among our people and the loss of lives. Yet, it can also be an opportunity for reflection and redirection to contribute to helping lift up the lives of those around us and transform our country — where love is shown more in deeds than in words.
Just as in Servant Leader: Leni Robredo, I chose a frame for the narrative on VP Leni.
IGNATIAN PRAYER OF GENEROSITY
Lord, teach me to be generous;
to serve you as you deserve;
to give and not to count the cost;
to fight and not to heed the wounds;
to toil and not to seek for rest;
to labor and not to ask for reward,
save that of knowing that I am doing your will.
