Here is a part of the statement of the mayor.
"Baguio folks, regardless of ethnic roots, are generally friendly, ever-smiling, and hospitable to visitors and guests.
This is why it is with deep regrets that the city officialdom extends sincere apology to Ms. Jillian Robredo, daughter of our esteemed Vice President and presidential candidate Leni Robredo, over the unfortunate heckling incident at our public market, while visiting the place."
"To the Vice President’s daughter and to other visiting candidates and their supporters, do accept our heartfelt regrets over this incident. We treat everyone with utmost fairness, with nothing but the very best experience our visitors can have while in our midst."
Jillian Robredo is the youngest daughter of Vice President Leni Robredo. Her other two siblings are Aika and Patricia Robredo. Jillian is a graduate of Philippine Science High School and is currently pursuing a college degree at a university abroad with a full scholarship.
Recently, Jillian took to Instagram and posted a photo of her two older sisters. In the caption, one could see that her older sisters were trying to make "lambing." "Baka naman gusto mo kami i-story," said her sisters. Thus, the bunso in the family immediately posted a photo of her two sisters in her IG Stories and said, "ök I gotchu."
Early this month, a video clip of Vice President Leni Robredo in one of her recent mini-rallies where a rally participant carrying a placard inquiring about Jillian went viral. The clip was shared by a Twitter user, and what tickled many netizens was when VP Leni read one of the placards. It was asking the presidential aspirant if her youngest daughter, Jillian, is single. The VP made a witty reply and netizens clearly enjoyed the manner in which she responded to the one asking.
