The camp of Robredo confirmed on Sunday night, Jan. 23, that the Vice President will attend the presidential job interview dubbed "Bakit Ikaw?"
This after Robredo revealed the reason behind her initial non-inclusion in the list of confirmed interviewees.
"Ang totoo (The truth is): I was invited to an interview with DZRH, initially set earlier this month. Ipapasok na sana sa schedule ko (It was about to be added to my schedules), but we were later told it was moved. Yung bagong sched nila (Their new schedule) was already in conflict with ours, as I had other commitments lined up," Robredo said on Twitter on Sunday night.
