MANILA - Vice President Leni Robredo has categorically denied that she is after President Rodrigo Duterte's position.

In the second part of a series of interviews posted on her Facebook page, Robredo said she has no plans to assume presidency.

"Wala. Wala akong planong palitan si Pangulong Duterte," she said.

(None. I have no plans to replace President Duterte.)

"Hindi maging Pangulo, Diyos ko. Pati nga yung pag-VP hindi naman ‘to nakaplano. Talagang nangyari lang, pati congressman."

(I have no plans to be President, my God. Even becoming Vice President was not planned. It just happened, also becoming a lawmaker.)

Robredo, meanwhile, reiterated that her family has no history of cheating.

"Makikita natin sino ba 'yong may capacity di ba? Sino 'yong may history na mandaya? Hindi 'yon ako. Parating pag sinasabing VP nandaya ka po, ulitin ko po, makikita sa records, yung pamilya namin, walang history nang pandadaya," she said.

(We know who has the capacity, who has a history of cheating. That's not me. Whenever people allege that VP, you cheated. I repeat, records will show that our family has no history of cheating.)

"Lahat ginagawa para idiscredit ako, yung sa akin lang, kung alam mo na nanalo ka sa eleksyon, hindi mo na kailangang mag-fake news di ba? Alam niya kung anong lumabas sa eleksyon, before the elections, yong surveys, na-reflect naman talaga nang tama."

(They are doing everything to discredit me. If you know you won the elections, why spread fake news? They know the election results and the surveys before the elections, which reflected what is right.)

Robredo is facing an electoral protest filed by former Senator Bongbong Marcos after she beat him in the 2016 vice-presidential race by 263,473 votes.

In his protest, Marcos contested the results in 132,446 precincts in 39,221 clustered precincts covering 27 provinces and cities.

Robredo has a pending counter-protest case against Marcos, which covers 31,278 precincts.

On Tuesday, Duterte inquired about the status of the manual recount in the electoral protest, after saying again that he wants to step down.

“Ano bang… Ano bang latest count nito kay Bongbong, pati kay ano? Ma-vice president ba talaga ‘yan kasi...,” he added, before veering off to another topic.

(What’s the latest in the recount of Bongbong’s electoral protest? Will he really become vice-president?)

Duterte has been open about his admiration for the Marcos family. His father served in the Cabinet of President Marcos.
