If mindlessly repeating this to yourselves like a mantra helps you face the daunting world and go on with your regular lives, then please do tell me so I can stop right here.
Otherwise, allow me to disabuse you of this ridiculous notion which apparently despite spending some time in a thread on Robredo, you all genuinely believe to be, for lack of a better word, true.
Have all of you collectively forgot the fact that Duterte from the start included Leni in his cabinet? She was from the opposition at the time, right?
Why do you think Duterte started not liking her? If he did not like her for being "a part of the opposition" then why bother at all including her in his cabinet as head of the HUDCC, a party to the most sensitive plans and conversations between the President and his most trusted advisers?
Surely you all know what triggered her being booted out of the Cabinet meetings, don't you?
So why are you all twisting facts? Duterte does not like her because she betrayed his confidence and continuously undermined him, having the gall to attend Cabinet meetings face to face with him and then the next minute holding press conferences attacking the very government she was actually a part of, not to mention actually letting privy conversations she was a witness to slip out of her mouth to her partymates, all in the name of partisan politics.
That's the reason Duterte does not like her. Not because she is "a part of the opposition".
Will you repeating that apparently unchallenged fabrication here, make it true? Well if you all actually did not know the truth before, you know now.
