MANILA - The last time aides of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte sent a text message to his vice president, it was to tell her to stay away from his cabinet meetings.
“We don’t even know the numbers anymore. We do not know how many died because of the drugs war because government has not been transparent,” she said in an interview with Reuters last month. The Duterte administration rejects that as foreign interference based on lies and distortion, and backs the police.Robredo is facing possible sedition charges alongside 35 other opponents of Duterte, among them lawyers, priests, lawmakers and a former attorney general, which some officials say could result in a second impeachment attempt against her.
According to Antonio Tinio, a unionist and former congressman, Robredo’s appointment is part of moves to discredit those who could complicate the succession of Duterte, who is restricted to only one six-year term. Robredo told Reuters she was yet to decide whether she would run in 2022 for the presidency, a contest typically won on personality rather than party or policy.
“In the age of fake news, in the age of trolls, it is difficult to be a woman politician, especially like me who doesn’t have a husband,” Robredo said.Robredo likened the crackdown on dissent to the martial law era of late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, demonstrating a slide towards authoritarianism, and a climate of fear.
