Naniniwala ako na sa panahong tila may mga matitinding hidwaan na nangyayari sa mundong kinagagalawan natin, ang hamon sa atin ay magsama-sama, paigtingin ang ating pagkakaisa, at gawing lakas, hindi hadlang, ang ating pagkakaiba,&quot; she said. &quot;Kailangan nating gawin ang tama para sa karamihan, hindi lang sa iilan. Ang katapatan ay dapat ibigay sa ating pinangakuang pagsisilbihan kahit labag ito sa pansariling interes.&quot;Robredo vowed to abide by this principle as she serves the public regardless of differences in social standing, beliefs or political affiliation.&quot;Bukas ang pintuan ng tanggapan ng Pangalawang Pangulo sa lahat -- anuman ang katayuan sa buhay, anuman ang paniniwala o anuman ang partido. Tayo ay magiging tanggapan na palaging nakikinig sa boses ng tanggapan.&quot;She also promised in her first 100 days as Vice President to continue her &quot;tsinelas&quot; brand of leadership and bring government aid to far-flung provinces.&quot;Ito ang sinimulan na nating gawin sa ating distrito sa lalawigan ng Camarines Sur - kung saan ako isinilang, nag-aral, nagtayo ng pamilya, namulat sa mga problema ng lipunan at kung saan napudpod ang ating mga tsinelas sa paghahanap ng mga mabisang solusyon sa kahirapan,&quot; she said.READ: <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/halalan2016/focus/10/05/15/tsinelas-leadership-why-leni-robredo-joined-vp-race">Tsinelas leadership: Why Leni Robredo joined VP race</a>Robredo ended her speech by quoting her late husband, Interior Secreatary Jesse Robredo: “What brings us together as a nation is far more powerful than what pulls us apart.” &quot;Sa panahon ng matinding hidwaan, ang pagkakaisa ng bansa ang tanging pag-asa. Iba iba man ang ating pinanggagalingan, iisa ang ating hangarin: na ang bawat pamilyang Pilipino ay mamuhay ng may dangal,&quot; she said. &quot;Ang sandaling ito ang simula ng sama-samang pagtupad sa hangaring ito.&quot;READ: <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/focus/06/30/16/read-inaugural-message-of-vp-leni-robredo">Inaugural message of VP Leni Robredo</a>Robredo assumed office on Thursday in a separate inauguration ceremony from Duterte, which was perceived by some people as indication of the supposed rift between the two highest elected officials.Robredo, the running mate of defeated Liberal Party bet Mar Roxas, was also left out of the Duterte Cabinet.READ: <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/nation/05/31/16/duterte-no-cabinet-post-for-leni-robredo ">Duterte: No Cabinet post for Leni Robredo</a>She and Duterte were <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/nation/06/29/16/duterte-robredo-were-set-to-meet-aide-says">supposed to meet</a> ahead of their respective inaugurations but this did not push through, according to Duterte&#x27;s aide de camp, Christopher Go.Duterte assumes the presidency at noon today in the Malacañang Palace.
