Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has appointed Vice President Leni Robredo as head of the housing agency.
President-elect Rodrigo Duterte is unlikely to let Vice President-elect Leni Robredo join his Cabinet since the move might hurt defeated vice presidential candidate Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. At a televised news conference on Tuesday night, Duterte said he is politically allied with Marcos and his mother, former First Lady Imelda Marcos.
As we enter the final nine percent of election results to be transmitted, Camarines Sur representative and Liberal Party bet Leni Robredo has increased her lead over Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. by 185,173 votes in the vice presidential race.
