BANTUGAN| Duterte spends first 20 minutes of his nation address criticizing Robredo. President Rodrigo Duterte rants against Vice President Leni Robredo during his recent nation address last Tuesday, November 17, 2020. Duterte opened his speech to the nation calling Robredo "dishonest" and "incapable of truth" as he believes that the opposition is the one who started and is behind of the trending hashtag #NASAANANGPANGULO, during the onset of Typhoon Ulysses. However, Robredo said that she never made such a remark as she was busy helping the victims of Typhoon Ulysses in Luzon. "I just called out Sec. Panelo for peddling fake news. I am also calling out whoever peddled the fake news to the President, kaya ganito siya ka pikon. I never said "Where is the President?” You can review all my tweets, said Robredo in a tweet after Duterte's speech. Duterte also claimed Robredo had nothing to help in typhoon response efforts. He warned Robredo not to "compete" with him. He also falsely claimed that Robredo somehow deceived the public into thinking there was no ASEAN summit. "Kaya ako lumipad sa Bicol, inunahan mo pa ako pakunwari. But do not compete with me and do not start a quarrel with me kasi ikaw wala ka talagang ginawa except 'yung mga tawag-tawag," said Duterte in his recent speech. Duterte also warned Robredo about the chances for launching a presidential bid saying, "When you start your campaign, kung magtakbo ka ng Presidente, waswasan kita nang husto. This is your nightmare." Duterte also made misogynist remarks and lewd claims to Robredo. He even suggested Robredo to buy swimsuit to swim in the flood. "Should you become President, if you want, buy some, plenty of swimsuits and start to swim when the floods come," said Duterte. "Ikaw, noong gabi, anong oras ka umuwi? Isang bahay ka lang ba, dalawang bahay? Nagtatanong lang ako. Kay congressman ka. Kaninong bahay ka natagalan?" he added. Robredo responded at the "misogynist remarks" made by Duterte saying, "When a President is a mysoginist, the conversation goes down to this level. Eto po yung ginagawa namin gabi gabi, nagpupuyat ilang linggo na para, araw-araw, may madala lang na tulong sa mga nangangailangan.", said Robredo in a tweet. "Sa panahon ng matinding sakuna, dapat lahat na tulong, welcome. Hindi ito contest. Hindi tayo nag-uunahan. Lahat tayo dapat nagtutulung-tulong para sa ating mga kababayan," she added. Meanwhile, Sec. Panelo apologized to Vice-President Leni Robredo after he falsely accused Robredo of using a government plane for her recent trip to typhoon-hit Bicol.
