Palace says no to Trillanes’ dare to let VP Robredo lead IATF

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque refused to take on the challenge of former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV to appoint Vice President Leni Robredo as chair of the IATF.

“We find it really unfortunate that Mr. Antonio Trillanes IV is sowing intrigue and division during this challenging time of COVID-19,” Roque mentioned in a statement.
What he said about the VP presenting solutions was an answer to a specific query of the media.

“We acknowledge the contributions of the Vice President in the fight against COVID-19. She is helping in her own ways and if her intentions are genuine, there is no need for her to be appointed or designated in the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF), as suggested by the former Senator,” Roque continued.
