When Duterte started to speak during the ceremony, he first greeted"Vice President Leni Robredo," adding "this is my first time to meet you personally."

Duterte added he was ready to sit beside her but the Secretary of National Defense Delfin Lorenzana is already there.

In an ambush interview, Robredo said she found their meeting "very cordial." She took the opportunity to ask Duterte if they could agree to meet.

"Nagpaalam ako sa kanya kung pwede ako magpa-set ng schedule ng courtesy visit," said the vice president. (I asked his permission if I can set a schedule for a courtesy visit.)
