THE CONCEPT of having a Vice President is basically the same one with motor vehicles having a spare tire. When a tire is damaged you just change it with your spare and continue your journey.

When the sitting President dies or is incapacitated the Vice President simply takes over and the country moves on. The concept is simple enough it only becomes a problem if the spare tire is of a different make, say you have a Jaguar but your spare tire is a Honda Civic, naturally it won’t fit. Likewise if the President and Vice President come from different and opposing political parties. It would be putting a square peg in a round hole.

Let’s not look far, remember President Noynoy Aquino and Vice President Binay? Now it’s the same thing all over again with President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Leni Robredo. Just imagine what would have happened if the PCOS machines were able to shave enough votes and Mar Roxas won but could no longer shave more votes for Leni Robredo and Bongbong Marcos won as Vice President. We would probably be in chaos right now aside from the fact that the illegal drugs trade would engulf the country in an unprecedented level; as somebody said, “If Mar Roxas won, even the dogs would be drug addicts.”

From day one all that Leni Robredo did was to make President Duterte look bad and make herself look good. When she was finally given a Cabinet post as Chair for the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC), she didn’t even do what she is supposed to do; give the victims of typhoon “Yolanda” permanent homes and take note people, this was three years after the typhoon hit the country and destroyed homes.

Of course, she was quite busy with her pictorials, press conferences and making noises against the burial of former president Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. People were even wondering why she makes more noise against the burial of Marcos than investigating the mysterious circumstances surrounding the plane crash that led to the untimely death of her husband, then Department of Interior and Local Government secretary Jessie Robredo.

When she was finally booted out as Chair of HUDCC, she said she resigned because of irreconcilable differences with President Duterte. Of course we all know she was kicked out unceremoniously via a text message. When this hit the news, everyone said it’s just as well as she’s incompetent anyway.

Her main excuse (irreconcilable difference – her stand against the burial of former President Marcos in the Libingan ng mga Bayani) is, of course, “bullocks” as there are other Cabinet members who are against the burial of Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani and noisier than her but still remain in the Cabinet i.e. National Anti-Poverty Commission’s Liza Maza and Department of Social Welfare and Development secretary Judy Taguiwalo.

There are talks that Vice President Leni Robredo was booted out because she was leaking out information and refuses to cooperate in the investigation of the anomalies in the typhoon “Yolanda” funds.

Here’s more, according to “careless whispers” – certain “information” which are actually false were specifically leaked to her sometime after the “information” found themselves (you guessed it right) in the hands of Sen. Leila de Lima. Of course, we all know what happened next. Leila de Lima had another presscon and gave all that “information” to the media.

And that is why Leni was kicked out of the Cabinet. Leni can look at this as a blessing in disguise. Now she has time for her pictorials. Who knows she might even make it to FHM.

She also has all the time to spend with her personal hairdresser, Cong. Jolet Banal. And she can join all the rallies against the burial of Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.

At the end of the day, having a Vice President from an opposing political party is like having a useless spare tire or excess baggage. Maybe Congress should amend the law and have the President and Vice President elected as a team to avoid situations like this in the future./PN
