Wow. This quote from Jacinda Ardern’s resignation: ‘Hope I leave New Zealanders with a belief that you can be kind but strong, empathetic but decisive, optimistic but focused...that you can be your own kind of leader, one who knows when it’s time to go’..
EXCLUSIVE: former Philippines VP @lenirobredo tells CPL about her time at @Harvard@Kennedy_School as a CPL Hauser Leader, her anti-poverty NGO @angatbuhay_ph, & why truth and transparency matter in #leadership ⤵️ https://t.co/UXSxLVhU4W
Amid the difficulties, democracy finds anchorage in the hearts of our people—and it is something we must protect for our future.
Excited to announce that I will be joining President @BarackObama at the @ObamaFoundation#DemocracyForum on November 17: https://t.co/zJLShHJPKq
Thank you, Ambassador Carlson, for a fruitful conversation. We at @angatbuhay_ph look forward to continuing our partnership with the US Embassy on our shared advocacies.
A double rainbow shimmered across the crowds gathered outside Buckingham Palace. When the news of Queen Elizabeth II's death broke, after a hush, people broke into "God Save the Queen." https://t.co/XgIbaYjsEL
Queen Elizabeth II is the last surviving head of state to have fought in WWII and the oldest military veteran. At 19 she joined the war effort as a mechanic. What an extraordinary life.
The Royal Family has cancelled events and are all going to Balmoral.
The BBC website has changed to black.
BBC on-air presenters have changed into black attire.
BBC One has cancelled regular programming until 6pm.
This sounds like we are in Operation London Bridge.
Isang napakalaking karangalan po para sa amin na maidonate sa @angatbuhay_ph Museo ng Pag-asa ang aming motorsiklo na sinakyan ni VP @lenirobredo nuong March 4, 2022 sa Cavite.
Nawala man sa amin ang motorsiklo, habang buhay nman nmin ikararangal na nakadisplay na sya sa Museum.

Atty. Leni Robredo, 14th Vice President and Angat Buhay Chairperson, is the 4th Robredo to go to Harvard University after the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard Kennedy School announced her appointment as Hauser Leader for the Fall 2022 semester.
As Hauser Leaders, we will engage with students, faculty, alumni, & the wider Harvard community during our stint on campus. I’m both thrilled & humbled to be given this space to share my advocacies & experiences, alongside a roster of distinguished leaders from various fields.
A huge honor to be invited at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Center for Public Leadership, as one of its Hauser Leaders for the Fall 2022 semester. What a blessing to be returning to Cambridge for this opportunity.

FACT CHECK: We were in DSWD for a press conference about educational assistance at the same time former VP @lenirobredo made a courtesy call to Secretary Tulfo. Before the presscon, a source told us Atty. Robredo will be visiting, but it is NOT for media coverage.
PH twitter is abuzz with calls to “drop” Leni as opposition leader because of her (1) non-filing of cyberlibel charges vs fake news spreaders/trolls and (2) refusal to contest the results of the 2022 elections.
People need to stop shooting from the hip. It will kill us all. 1/
Cyberlibel is a double-edged sword. In the hands of an abusive state, it is as dangerous as disinformation, if not more. Cyberlibel has no place in a democratic society. The direction is to decommission, de-weaponise and challenge it, not “legitimize” it. Huwag magpa-bitag.
I think everyone needs to cut ex VP Leni Robredo some slack. She has no obligation or duty to save this country or anyone. She has given enough already. She and her family deserve their peace. Let them decide what’s best for them.
