MANILA, Philippines – Vice President Leni Robredo would not resign from being the co-chair of the Inter-Agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD) unless President Rodrigo Duterte says so, the spokesperson of the Office of the Vice President said on Thursday. Lawyer Barry Gutierrez said that Robredo would stay, even there are possible attempts to hinder her from effectively discharging her duties. ADVERTISEMENT“The Vice President will stay so long as she still has a job to do. On Tuesday night, Duterte said that he does not trust Robredo, especially after the Vice President talked with different international organizations after being designated as ICAD co-chair. The President said this ultimately cost Robredo a cabinet post — although he later clarified that he was not firing her.
