Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, June 29) President Rodrigo Duterte challenged National Housing Authority General Manager Marcelino Escalada, Jr. to complete in six months the housing projects for those affected by Typhoon Yolanda.
Duterte gave the order to Escalada and then Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council Chairman Leoncio Evasco, Jr. to finish the housing projects.
“
’Pag hindi natapos ‘yan, maghanap kayo ng ibang trabaho. Talagang papalitan ko kayo (If they are not completed, you better find other jobs. I will replace you,)” said Duterte. “It was not a threat but a suggestion to them to do more because if they cannot do more, then I will look for somebody who can do more housing projects.”
Vice President Leni Robredo believed that President Duterte is being fed lies about her after no other than Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque tried to peddle "fake news" that she volunteered to appear in an infomercial with the Chief Executive to address vaccine hesitancy.

SunStar March 16, 2021 PDP-Laban’s move to get President Duterte to run for Vice President in the 2022 elections tells me that self-interest, not the country’s welfare, still dominates our political dynamics. Self-interest is blinding politicians to the lesson we should learn from our negative experience with Vice President Leni Robredo.
VP Robredo, for belonging to the opposition, refused to honor her mandate from voters to serve as Vice President. Instead, she served as her party’s prime campaigner for the coming elections. She accomplished this by stinking up the incumbent party in an obvious effort to let her party come out smelling roses.
