Robredo *flips hair* on calls to probe her COVID-19 aid

Vice President Leni Robredo took to Twitter to comment on calls to probe her for her office supposedly competing with the government for COVID-19 relief.

Her reaction: *flips hair*

"Una, electoral protest. Sunod, impeachment complaint, sedition case, indirect contempt. Ngayon, ang gusto NBI investigation. Kailangan ba du'n personal appearance o puwedeng Zoom? Dami pa kasing trabaho," she wrote in a caption of an animated GIF of herself flipping her hair.

Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) Commissioner Manuelito Luna on Thursday called for a probe of Robredo’s “illegal solicitations, actions that compete with, or calculated to undermine national government efforts in this time of public health emergency or national calamity.”

Luna said Robredo may have violated the NDRRMC Law, the Solicitation Permit Law and related issuances as well as the measures and protocols of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID), the government body supervising efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 in the country.

In response, Robredo's office called the PACC statement "so ridiculous, so inappropriate, so out of touch."

“Since Day One of the COVID-19 crisis, Vice President Leni has done all she can to help health workers, government institutions, and ordinary Filipinos overcome the challenges they have had to face due to the restrictions on travel, the shortages in supplies, and she done all this without requesting additional public funds or seeking expanded powers,” said lawyer Barry Gutierrez, spokesperson for Robredo. --JST, GMA News
