Vice President Leni Robredo on Monday congratulated Vice President-elect Sara Duterte for winning the 2022 May elections.
"Warmest congratulations on your proclamation as the 15th Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines," Robredo said in a letter to Duterte.
The message was in response to Duterte's request for a meeting between their teams to ensure a smooth transition between both officials for the next administration.
In her letter, Robredo said that her team will set up a meeting with Duterte's camp and that they are ready to answer questions regarding the Office of the Vice President.
"Please be advised that we are ready to meet to answer any questions you may have regarding the Office of the Vice President and to take all necessary steps to ensure a smooth transition," said Robredo in her letter.
Duterte, who is the outgoing Davao City mayor and daughter of President Rodrigo Duterte, won by a landslide in the vice presidential race with over 32 million votes.
She was proclaimed vice president by Congress last week, along with her running-mate Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., who was proclaimed as the victor in the presidential race.
