President Rodrigo Duterte Thinks No One Will Follow a Female President

preen leni robredo rodrigo duterte women can't be president

Here’s an addition to President Rodrigo Duterte’s growing list of quotable quotes: He says that VP Leni Robredo is a distraction during meetings and that no one will listen to a female president.

In a recent press conference, Rodrigo repeatedly complimented Leni’s looks and lady-like demeanor. Not that there’s anything wrong with compliments, but saying she’s unfit to be a president because of her gender is another thing. I mean, has he forgotten that we’ve had two female presidents already?

Duterte: You won’t listen to a female president because she’s beautiful. I keep looking at Vice President Robredo in the Cabinet meeting

— Ayee Macaraig (@ayeemacaraig) August 10, 2016

Duterte said she kept looking at @lenirobredo during a Cabinet meeting: She is really beautiful, lady-like, kind.

— Ayee Macaraig (@ayeemacaraig) August 10, 2016

Sometimes you just have to wonder what the real score is between the President and Vice-President. One minute he’s not giving her a cabinet position, next he warmly welcomes her to Malacañang. Now, he’s questioning her ability to rule. Seriously, what’s going on?
