BREAKING: A day after being fired, Robredo asks: ‘Ano bang kinatatakutan ninyong malaman ko?’
MANILA, Philippines — “Ano bang kinatatakutan ninyo, ano ba ang kinatatakutan ninyong malaman ko?”
This was the question posed by Vice President Leni Robredo a day after she was sacked from her post as co-chair of the Inter-Agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD).
“Ano ba ang kinatatakutan ninyong malaman ng taumbayan?,” she also said in a press conference in Camarines Sur on Monday.
“Mr. President, hindi ko hiningi ang posisyong ito. Pero sineryoso ko and trabahong ipinasa ninyo. Ang hiling ng taumabayan isang gobyernong tunay na kampeon laban sa iligal na droga,” she added.
She further said she would soon report to the public what she discovered during her 18-day stint as co-chair of the government’s anti-drug body.
“Sa mga susunod na araw, magbibigay ako ng ulat sa bayan. Sasabihin ko ang aking natuklasan at ang akong mga rekomendasyon. Makakaasa kayo: kahit tinanggalan ako ng posisyon, hinding hindi nila kayang tanggalin ang aking determinsyon,” the vice president said.
