Duterte's iron-fisted anti-drug campaign in the Philippines has sparked controversy, prompting activists in the country to call for international intervention. Vice President Robredo also said in an interview on October 23rd that the death toll was too high and said that if the government continued to tolerate police abuses, it should seek international assistance. After Duterte appointed Robredo as co-chair of the inter-ministerial anti-drug commission last month, opposition allies warned Himaedo of the trap in order to embarrass and fail. Robredo also said she doubted Duterte's motives, but was willing to take advantage of the opportunity. She later met with U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Kim Sung and officials of the U.N. anti-drug unit, much to Duterte's displeasure and criticism that she could put the country at risk
Aaron Aquino, the director of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Administration, said Friday that there is no need to give her a list of high-value drug lords as requested by Vice President Robredo. Director Aquino said he heard Vice President Robredo made the request during a meeting with law enforcement of the Anti-Drug Interagency Committee on Thursday. "She's asking for lists, such as lists of high-value drug lords," Mr Aquino said. I was wondering why she needed it. Our task was not to get a list of high-value goals. He added: "You're just a co-chair, why do you need this list? I don't understand why she needs this list, what she's asking for this thing to do?" he said at a meeting of The Interagency Committee on Drugs in Robredo on Thursday. She also requested the member bodies of the Committee to provide clear baseline data on the campaign against drugs by the end of the year. These figures are based on early figures from the early days of the 2016 war on drugs, including drug users, surrenders, arrested persons, court cases and drug addicts who are recovering from drug addiction.
Mr Bannillo added: "That's why we're telling Vice President Robredo to be careful when he takes advice from others, and you think it's going to help you, but the truth is, it's only going to ruin her." According to the PBOC, net fdi inflows were $543 million in July 2019.
The President of the Philippines and the Vice-President of the Philippines are elected and therefore may belong to different political parties. The two men have long been at odds over the fight against drugs, and this time Duterte has called Robredo a brain-shaming man and said he would not appoint her to the cabinet or entrust her with classified information about the country. Duterte said she would only put the country at risk if he appointed Robredo to the cabinet and gave her access to sensitive state information. "If her mouth can't be kept secret, I can't appoint her to the cabinet, and the cabinet will never have her place." Duterte also distrusted Robredo, saying: "I can't trust her, not least because she is an ally of the opposition and former President Aquino." I don't trust her because I don't know her. "
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President-in-law Linnes Robredo have been estranged for a long time, and have been unhappy with her in recent days, criticizing Robredo in front of reporters.

In a November 15 report, "Duterte's Health Concerns, Sri Lanka's Election," Mr. Lezell, senior Asia economist at Capital Economics, said foreign investment has been on a downward trend since President Duterte took office in 2016. Lezell also said that Robredo's strong opposition to Duterte's authoritarian tendencies, including his willingness to undermine the political system, his attacks on political opponents, and the controversial war on drugs, could attract foreign companies to invest in the Philippines. "What about foreign investment?" he said. Our economic officials have made it clear that we have good investment, especially in foreign investment. "
The Philippine presidential palace on the 18th to the London think tank's statement laughed off. The think-tank said Vice President Robredo could attract more foreign investors if he succeeds President Duterte, who has health problems. Philippine presidential spokesman Benigno Bannelo said Robredo's successor as Philippine president was "wishful thinking." Asked to respond to a statement by Capital Economics, a London think-tank, Mr Bannillo told Radio Radio: "First of all, it's wishful thinking. The think-tank believes foreign investors will welcome Robredo's replacement for Duterte. He added: "They are once again interfering with our sovereignty and voting for his people." They are interfering with our government's policies. Section 8 of the 1987 Constitution provides that: "In the event of death, permanent disability, removal from office or resignation, the Vice-President shall become the President in order to complete the outstanding term of office."
