ANY ATTEMPT to oust President Duterte would most likely fail, Vice President Leni Robredo said on Friday in response to allegations that the Liberal Party (LP), to which she belongs, planned to impeach the President. Robredo denied that her party, the ruling party before the Mr. Duterte of the PDP-Laban party won the elections, was planning to wrest back power. She said Mr. Duterte has provided all the needs of HUDCC, which she currently chairs, and she would like to support him also in return. If we have differences, it does not mean that we stop supporting Mr. Duterte. At the same time, Sen. Francis Pangilinan reiterated yesterday that the LP had nothing to do with alleged plans to overthrow President Duterte, explaining that criticism against his drug war did not mean an ouster plot was in the offing.
