MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte has received the resignation of Vice President Leni Robredo from his Cabinet due to policy differences, Malacañang confirmed.

The President accepted Rodredo's resignation "with a heavy heart," said Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar.

Duterte, through text messages passed on by two senior aides, earlier asked Robredo to stop attending future cabinet meetings.

Robredo on Sunday resigned as housing secretary, ending a four-month stint in Duterte's official family.
