Eyebrows raised (including mine) when Duterte said that he wouldn’t give Robredo, the Vice President-elect, a cabinet position. “You know why?” he said. “I don't want to hurt the feelings of Bongbong Marcos. He is my friend. That is the political reality.” Robredo’s supporters got mad, running around as if the sky is falling.
It is politically risky to give Robredo a cabinet position while Marcos Jr is still considering to file an electoral protest against her.
