Manila, Philippines - Do you know why President
Duterte does not trust Vice President Leni Robredo?
It is not because of the
President doesn’t trust her, But because one of the biggest
shabu laboratories in the Philippines were located in Bicol region, probably
Robredo's hometown in Naga City, Camarines Sur, as claimed by the President.
The chief executive said the claimed that one of the biggest shabu
laboratories in the Philippines was located in Bicol region, as previous intel reports said.
President Rodrigo said in an
interview with reporters “You know one of
the biggest, ah, the biggest actually, drug manufacturing apparatus was in
Bicol, sa Naga. But not ano I’m sure (about Naga) but in Bicol.”
Robredo acknowledged her hometown’s “big” drug
problem right after being appointed co-chair of the Inter Agency Committee on
Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD).
“Isa talaga yung drugs sa malalaking problema, lalo yung Naga
[at] Legazpi kasi ito yung transshipment kasi, itong malalaking cities,” she
said in an interview with GMA News,
Robredo is the better-half of the late Naga City mayor Jesse
Robredo who was the Interior Secretary in the Aquino administration.
After months Duterte took
office in July 2016, authorities raided the biggest shabu laboratory ever in
the country in Virac, Catanduanes in a drug bust which yielded 22.5 kilos of
meth and some 359 kilos of ephedrine.
The case was filed against
Chinese national Xian Xian Wang, lawyer Augusto Eric Isidoro, former chief of
the National Bureau of Investigation anti-illegal drugs unit, and caretakers
Pido Bonito,
Paolo Uy, and Jayson Gonzales Uy.
Duterte banned Robredo from
attending Cabinet meeting because he feared she could use classified documents
for her vested interests.
“I cannot trust her not
only because she is with the opposition. I do not trust her because I do not
know her,” President Duterte said.
