Malacañang on Saturday has called on the public to let Vice President Leni Robredo form her own approach to solve the illegal drug problem of the country.
“We call on everybody to give VP Leni space, allow her to perform her assigned task and not to create roadblocks and imagined conflicts, pitting her against her fellow workers of government by way of intrigues, as well as wild and off-tangent speculations engineered by the usual suspects,” Presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo said in a statement.
The appeal came after Robredo convened Friday the Inter-Agency Anti-Drugs Committee, of which she is now a co-chairperson.Panelo took Robredo’s initiative as indication that she is open to “suspend all her negative notions about the drug war,” which he claimed are “mostly based on false if not exaggerated information and media hype.”
The critical stand, however, led her to accept Duterte’s new appointment—as she promised to implement reforms on the administration’s flagship campaign.
