Anak ni VP Leni Robredo na si Jillian Robredo, Nagtapos ng Bachelors of Arts Degree sa New York University!



13-anyos pa lamang noong nang mawala ang ama ni Jillian Robrero na si late-Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo nang magcråsh ang eroplano na sinasakyan nito. Nitong Martes, Mayo 16, 2022, ay nagtapos si Jillian, 22-anyos, sa New York University ng Bachelor of Arts Degree na may double major sa Economics at Mathematics.



Ang kanyang ina na si Vice President Leni Robredo, ay buong pagmamalaki na isinulat ang milestone event sa social media.

"NY Baccalaureate today. Jillian wearing what matters most—a pendant containing her Papa's ashes, her graduation stole with the colors of the Philippine flat and her rosas pin."

Si VP Leni at ang kanyang dalawang nakatatandang anak na babae, sina Aika at Tricia, ay lumipad sa New York para sa mga seremonya ni Jillian, ang una, para sa mga nagtapos ng Kolehiyo sa College of Arts and Sciences sa makasaysayang Radio City Music Hall; ang pangalawa, ang pagtatapos ng unibersidad, sa Yankee Stadium.





"The graduation is Jillian’s triumph over a lot of difficulties she had to go through. She hadn’t planned on going to New York to study, but then she got into NYU," ani ni VP Leni.

"The first difficulty she had to hurdle was that we couldn't afford an NYU education. Jillian had to look for scholarships just so she could go."

Mula sa kanyang unang taon at sa kabuuan, nagtrabaho si Jillian ng hindi bababa sa 20 oras sa isang linggo upang madagdagan ang kanyang mga pondo sa scholarship, at kailangang balansehin ang trabaho at pag-aaral.



“I think the most difficult part was when I decided to run for the presidency," sabi ng kanyang ina.

"She decided to be with me in Manila so that she could campaign for me. That meant campaigning during the day while attending classes at night. She suffered, but it was very clear to her where her priorities are and despite the results of the election she felt she made the best decision coming home when it mattered most. It wasn’t just because I was a candidate, but she felt very strongly about what the elections meant for the country."
