This doll represents Leni Robredo. Using the design by M. Aves and under the supervision of wood sculptor Charming Baldemor of Paete, Laguna, wood carvers from Pulido (IG: @pulido_cbstudios) used rescued mango wood in creating this doll, signifying Leni’s humble beginnings and her resilience in the midst of adversity and tragedy. Half-blind artisans from the team meticulously hand-painted every doll. The doll’s hard lines and graceful curves pay homage to Leni’s quiet strength towards reaching the finish line, that of being a servant leader for our country. This doll reminds us of our indomitable courage and fervent hope to move, to run, to sprint, to dash towards our dream of a better Philippines for every Filipino. Through this doll, we hold our beautiful future in our palm.
