VICE President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo on Sunday resigned from her Cabinet post, saying she had been barred from attending Cabinet meetings starting Monday.

“We received a text message last Saturday from Cabinet Secretary Jun Evasco Jr., relaying the President's instruction through Bong Go for me ‘to desist from attending all Cabinet meetings starting this Monday, December 5.’ This is the last straw, because it makes it impossible for me to perform my duties. Hence, I am tendering my resignation from the Cabinet on Monday, December 5, 2016,” Robredo said in a statement.
