Maria Leonor "Leni" Gerona Robredo (born Maria Leonor Santo Tomas Gerona; April 23, 1965) is a Filipina lawyer, politician, and social activist who is the 14th and incumbent vice president of the Philippines. Robredo was the wife of the late Jesse Robredo, who was interior secretary from 2010 to 2012. After his death, she served as the representative of Camarines Sur's 3rd district from 2013 until her inauguration as vice president of the Philippines in 2016. In the 2016 vice presidential election, Robredo defeated Bongbong Marcos (son of dictator and kleptocrat Ferdinand Marcos) by a narrow margin of 263,473 votes. Bongbong Marcos protested the results, alleging that the Liberal Party had manipulated the votes, but a report released by the Supreme Court further widened her lead to 278,566 over Marcos.
