There is a petition filed against President Rodrigo Duterte by a Magdalo party-list congressman allied with Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, Duterte’s most virulent critic. Administration lawmakers will likely find the petition against President Duterte sufficient in form before debunking its allegations. The other charge contemplated is Robredo’s alleged involvement in destabilization efforts allegedly mounted against President Duterte. Then one must show that she actively collaborated with elements out to oust President Duterte or undermine his government. Plus: Vice President Robredo may herself tone down her criticism, if only to avoid spoiling the Asean events.
