MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – President Duterte is open to firing Leni Robredo again if the Vice President is given and accepts a third appointment as member of the administration.

This was revealed by Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo, weeks after Robredo was fired as Co-chair of the Inter-agency Committee on Anti-illegal Drugs (ICAD). It was Robredo’s second appointment, the first being Cabinet member in charge of Housing and Urban Development.

”It’s a love-hate relationship that the President has with Robredo,” Panelo said. “Love is lovelier the third time around, but there is also the possibility that the VP will be fired three times in a row.”

Panelo didn’t say what Cabinet or other position Duterte might appoint Robredo to.

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Philippines Vice President Leni Robredo’s much-ballyhooed report on her two-week stint as Co-chair of the Inter-agency Committee on Anti-illegal Drugs (ICAD) finally was unveiled yesterday.

While none of Robredo’s ‘findings’ and recommendations was earth-shattering, one of her revelations shocked many Filipinos. It even came with a bar graph.

Robredo claimed that only less than 1% of the estimated supply of shabu in the country had been seized in government law enforcement operations.

Asked by reporters who swarmed the Office of the Vice President at the Boracay Mansion in Quezon City for a delectable merienda (snack) treat what the signficance was of the number she divulged, Robredo said:

”It means that 99% of the shabu supply had already been consumed! In other words, there is no longer an illegal drug problem in the country. Duterte’s war on drugs can be stopped ASAP.”
