Vice Presideant Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo said she will continue doing her job as co-chairman of the Inter-Agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD) until President Rodrigo Duterte removes her from her post.

“Siya [President] yung nag-appoint sa akin, siya din yung may kapangyarihan na tanggalin ako. Ako s’yempre pag tinanggal ako, wala akong magagawa, pero hindi ako mag-re-resign (He was the one who appointed me, he also has the power to dismiss me. If he removed me from the post, I cannot do anything about it, but I will not resign),” Robredo said in her weekly radio show on Sunday.

She issued the statement after Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo advised her to leave her post quietly if she was not comfortable or “cannot stand the heat in the kitchen.”

“Dahil ngayon pa, ngayon pa na andami kong nakita na kailangan ko pang gawin, ngayon pa, na tingin ko, marami akong maitutulong. Kaya habang hindi pa ako tinatanggal, gagawin ko yung trabaho ko (I have seen that I have a lot more to do, I believe I can help more. So as long as I have yet to be dismissed, I will do my job),” Robredo said. DIVINA NOVA JOY DELA CRUZ
