[Asia News = Reporter Reakkana] Vice President Leni Robredo said it would be a “waste” if President Duterte becomes her successor and implements his familiar style of leadership, Manila Bulletin reported. Robredo, in an interview Friday, Sept. 24 with Ateneo Level Up of Radyo Katipunan, said she wouldn’t want the next vice president of the Philippines to be “too detached” from the job.

“(I took care of this office for six years. Hopefully, the governing style that we saw him do as president won’t be his style if he becomes the vice president. As for us…we work as hard as the lowest-ranked employee. It’s a waste. It’s a waste of the groundwork we laid down here if the next vice president would be too detached,” she said. President Duterte is the vice presidential bet of ruling party PDP-Laban for the upcoming May 2022 national elections. He signed his certificate of nomination and acceptance (CONA) from the party Thursday.


“It’ll be a waste of my hard work as well as my hopes that the culture I will have left here would be my legacy,” added Robredo. The opposition leader has often criticized the Duterte administration for its handling of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Specifically, Robredo has said that there seems to be “no captain” in government when it comes to its pandemic response.
