PRRD’s threat vs. Robredo in 2022 polls, not ‘unpresidential’
Malacañang asserted that President Rodrigo Duterte's recent criticism of Vice President Leni Robredo reflects his consistent stance on her leadership capabilities.
The President had threatened to campaign against Robredo if she runs for the presidency in 2022, accusing her of attempting to discredit him during recent typhoon calamities.
Robredo, in response, labeled the President's remarks as "very unpresidential."
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque defended Duterte's statements, emphasizing his consistent behavior and citing a Pulse Asia survey indicating high public trust in the President's performance.
Duterte specifically accused Robredo of initiating the social media trend #NasaanAngPangulo during the typhoons and claimed she issued orders to the military, allegations Robredo countered by stating she was connecting citizens to rescue teams on the ground.
