For this reason alone, she already seems to be the perfect match to his larger-than-life personality.
Incoming Vice President Leni Robredo has said that she respects incoming President Rodrigo Duterte’s decision to pick his closest allies to the Cabinet. “Naiintindihan natin kasi prerogative naman niya kung sino iyung ia-appoint niya sa Gabinete. Siyempre, kahit sinong Presidente, i-a-appoint niya iyung buo iyung kanyang tiwala, buo ang kanyang paniniwala sa kakayahan nito (I understand because it’s his prerogative to appoint those whom he wants for his Cabinet. Of course, any President would appoint those whom he already knows are capable of the job and whom he trusts totally),” Robredo said in a TV Patrol interview on Mon, May 30.
Duterte is the chair of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban), while Robredo is a member of the Liberal Party (LP).
Robredo added, “From the very start naman, naiintindihan natin na wala naman akong karapatan mag-demand ng anything, wala nga akong karapatang mag-expect ng anything (From the very start, I understood that I had no right to demand anything or expect anything).”
