Robredo says she's 'already shown courage'MANILA, Philippines — Does Vice President Leni Robredo believe that Filipinos need a strong leader with an iron fist? If that phrase means being a courageous leader, she said, then she's already shown time and again that she can be that leader. If you define it as a show of courage, then in my stages as a vice president, I’ve already shown this.

For most of her term, Robredo's functions have been limited due to tensions between her and President Rodrigo Duterte.
