#LabanLeni Robredo’s parasitical relationship with Malacanang finally comes to an end

Rather than be a team player, “vice president” Leni Robredo behaved like an entitled spoilt brat the whole time she “served” in the Cabinet of President Rodrigo Duterte. The expectations Duterte had of Robredo were quite simple as articulated in the official Malacanang statement on her removal from the Cabinet… As a Cabinet member, the…

Leni Robredo is clueless and it could be the reason Duterte doesn’t respect her
