VICE President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo decried allegations by President Rodrigo Duterte that the Liberal Party, which she heads, was part of destabilization efforts against his administration and branded these accusations as “irresponsible.”

“Talks on destabilization [efforts] have always been there, the Liberal Party is being made a whipping boy. It is a very unfair accusation. As you have seen, we are spending a lot of our time and effort in doing our job. There is no basis for them to say that we are part of any destabilization,” Robredo told reporters in a chance interview during the first anniversary of her office’s anti-poverty program Angat Buhay.
