Liberal Party candidate Camarines Sur Rep. Ma. Leonor “Leni†Robredo is the country’s vice president.
Robredo on Friday trumped her closest rival, Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong†Marcos Jr., the son and namesake of the late dictator.
According to the official count of Congress sitting as the National Board of Canvassers, Robredo led the race with 14,418,817 votes, or just 263,473 ahead of Marcos who got 14,155,344.
She was declared winner after the closing of the canvassing of 166 certificates of canvass (COCs) at past 7 p.m. on Friday, which incidentally was also the 58th birthday of her late husband, interior secretary and former Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo.
