MANILA, Philippines — President Duterte and Vice President Leni Robredo will be sharing the same stage today as they attend the graduation ceremony of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) in Baguio City. Robredo and Duterte are rarely seen together in public since the Vice President was booted out of the Cabinet in 2016. Duterte will award the Presidential Saber to PMA Alab Tala (Alagad ng Lahing Binigkis ng Tapang at Lakas) Class of 2018 valedictorian Cadet First Class Jaywardene Galilea Hontoria. Robredo, on the other hand, will hand over the Vice Presidential Saber to Class Salutatorian CFC Ricardo Witawit Liwaden. Robredo said the Philippines’ withdrawal from the global treaty could have an impact on the international community’s perception of the country.
