DAVAO CITY (July 10)-— President Rodrigo Duterte says he will not resign his post, because he does not want Vice President Leni Robredo to be the next President, saying she is incompetent.
In an interview with reporters Tuesday afternoon, a reporter asked Duterte to comment on the statement issued by Robredo, that she is ready to lead the opposition coalition.
In his response, Duterte quipped ” Kung siya mag-presidente? Look, I will not resign because it will make her president. My resignation is addressed to the people na para makapili sila nang gusto nila. Siya? I don’t think she can ever be ready to govern a country. Reason? Incompetence.”
Duterte further emphasized “I mean she’s not capable of running a country like this — Philippines?”
The Liberal Party and other opposition groups plan to coalesce and make Robredo the leader in preparation for the 2019 mid-term elections.
