give up her post.
Presidential spokesperson Atty.

“Just like accepting a position,
resigning from it solely depends upon the person, and not with the appointing
power. If one is not comfortable with it, or cannot stand the heat in the
kitchen, the honorable thing to do is to leave the post quietly,” the Palace
official said.
President Duterte has publicly said
that he cannot trust Robredo because she might reveal classified intelligence
information regarding the relentless crackdown on illegal drugs in the country.
Atty. Panelo said it could be
considered “uncivil” or “unethical” for the Vice president to challenge the
President to demand her resignation.
“It may not be civil nor ethical for VP
Leni to taunt or dare the President in demanding the latter to tell her that he
does not want her for the job she was appointed to or that he wants her to
resign from her current post,” he said.
“Such taunting and daring only make it
appear that PRRD (President Rodrigo R. Duterte) owes her for appointing her as
anti-illegal drug czar,” Panelo added.
