Biography

Tricia Robredo is the second daughter of former interior secretary Jesse Robredo (1958–2012) and former vice president Leni Robredo.[1][2][3]

While studying at the Ateneo de Manila University for college, Robredo joined the UAAP coverage team of ABS-CBN Sports in 2013 as a courtside reporter for the National University (NU) Bulldogs.[4][5] She said that her sideline gig was for her late father, an avid basketball fan, who died in a plane crash the previous year. Her mother said that Tricia was the most affected by his death.[6] She stayed as a courtside reporter until 2014,[1] when the NU basketball team won the championship.[7]

Robredo later studied at the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health from 2014 while continuing to report for the NU Bulldogs.[7][8][9] She received her medical degree and an MBA from the Ateneo in 2020.[10][11][12][13] She also passed the Philippine physician licensure medical examination that same year.[14] She then pursued a graduate degree in Global Health Delivery at the Harvard Medical School in 2022. [15]

While campaigning for her mother in 2022, Tricia Robredo led a campaign sortie called 'Angatleta sa Araneta' at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City,[16] which was attended by athletes, especially former UAAP volleyball players who endorsed her mother for president.[17]

During the campaign, Robredo and her older sister Aika asked the National Bureau of Investigation to conduct a probe against those who spread fake lewd photos of them.[18]

Robredo has been engaged to her partner since November 2024.[19]
