Malacañang described the proposal of a pro-Duterte group to establish a revolutionary government and adopt a new federal constitution as "strange and incomprehensible."
The Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte - National Executive Coordinating Committee (MRRD-NECC), after being allegedly snubbed by President Duterte, expressed openness to Vice President Leni Robredo as an alternative leader for their proposed revolutionary government.
