Robredo: Opposition plot to oust Duterte ‘ridiculous, alarming’

VICE President Leonor “Leni” Robredo branded as “absolutely ridiculous” and “alarming” recent allegations by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) that various opposition groups were behind the plot to oust President Rodrigo Duterte.

“For while the claims themselves are absolutely ridiculous, the attempt to delegitimize various opposition groups and personalities by linking them to an alleged extra-constitutional ‘plot’ is alarming,” Robredo said in a statement on Tuesday.
