This came after Robredo announced her resignation as the chair of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) from President Rodrigo Duterte’s Cabinet on Sunday, December 4. According to her statement, she resigned after she received a text message from Cabinet Secretary Jun Evasco barring her from attending Cabinet meetings starting Monday, as ordered by President Duterte through his executive assistant Christopher “Bong” Go.

Two of the best decisions I have made this 2016: I did NOT vote for Duterte, and I voted for #LabanLeni.
