Leni took piano lessons for a while, but her daughters are better musicians than she is. "She took lessons for 10 years, but never really got very far. She says her daughters are very good though, and she gets a high listening to them play classical pieces,"
Leni enjoys a simple lifestyle. There was a snapshot of her waiting for a bus to Naga City at a gas station along EDSA, carrying her two bags. She claimed that she had traveled from Taguig to give a speech and had decided to take a bus there instead of heading north to the Cubao bus terminal because it was a shorter route.
Leni took the Philippine bar examinations twice, failing the first time in 1992 and passing the second time in 1997. Among her other responsibilities, she said she was a working mother and the wife of Naga City's mayor at the time. Robredo stated that after passing the bar examinations, she decided to assist the underprivileged and marginalized sectors of Naga City who could not afford legal services.
Leni began her legal career in the Public Attorney's Office in her hometown, where she assisted poor litigants in defending their rights in court, before moving on to Sentro ng Alternatibong Lingap Panligal, a non-profit organization that provides free legal assistance to the underprivileged.
Leni would have been a judge in the RTC. She could have been a regional trial court judge if she wasn't propelled into politics in 2013. She had been considered for a position as presiding judge in one of the Bicol region's three regional trial courts (RTCs) before her husband's death.
Jesse and Leni were officemates before they became a couple, with Jesse serving as her superior. Leni applied for a job at the Bicol River Basin Development Program (BRBDP), which was then headed by Jesse, after graduating from the University of the Philippines in Diliman in 1986.
The Full Disclosure Bill was Leni's debut bill. The bill is the same one she vowed to push throughout her campaign for a seat in the Congress. It aims to make it mandatory for government entities to completely disclose their financial transactions, budgets, and public-interest materials.
Leni spearheaded several COVID-19 response programs, including: Bayanihan E-Konsulta program, Swab Cab, Personal protective equipment (PPE) distribution, dormitories and shuttle for frontliners; Community learning hubs, gadget donation drive, and teachers’ training under Bayanihan E-skuwela program; and online platforms for displaced workers and small businesses
