Robredo 'politicking, nitpicking' gov't's COVID-19 response --- Roque
Malacañang criticized Vice President Leni Robredo for allegedly politicizing the government's Covid-19 response as the election season approaches.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque expressed dismay over Robredo's 'incessant and non-stop' criticisms against President Duterte and his administration's pandemic efforts.
Roque characterized Robredo's actions as politicking, noting a pattern of weekly critiques that intensify as elections near.
The Palace spokesperson acknowledged Duterte's recognition of Robredo's initiatives but stated that the administration could not accept statements that devalue their efforts.
Robredo had previously called for a 'timeout' on politicking, emphasizing the need for an 'all-hands-on-deck approach' to address the Covid-19 pandemic.
