MANILA, Philippines – Vice President Leni Robredo is set to travel to Sydney, Australia on Tuesday for a speaking engagement and to meet the Filipino community in the southern country. Barry Gutierrez, Robredo was invited by the Australia-Philippines Business Council to talk about the role of women in business. Robredo was initially slated to answer questions about the Supreme Court’s (SC) decision to defer the issuance of a decision on the poll protest against her. Gutierrez also clarified that the trip was not charged to the government, as it is not an official function of the Vice President. “Also, to be clear, the trip is not going to cost the taxpayers anything, it was not charged to the office,” he said.
