Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo has denied the accusation that she was part of a group who was plotting to oust President Rodrigo Duterte.

Leni Robredo clarified that she knew nothing about the allegation but was aware that she was being linked to the controversial Yahoo conversation that went viral.

"Sa akin naman, parang nakakagulat na kung sikreto yung pinag-uusapan doon, bakit public yung grupo? Hindi ko alam kung ano yung participation ko, name-mention daw yung pangalan ko, pero hindi ako kabahagi ng grupong iyon," the vice president said while being interviewed in Marinduque.

"Meron ding mga emails na nagsi-circulate. Hindi rin ako kabahagi doon. Na-me-mention yata yung pangalan ko--na hindi naman surprising na ma-mention yung pangalan ko kasi ako yung Pangalawang Pangulo," Robredo went on.

Despite being on the receiving end of the social media rumors, the former HUDCC chief said she would rather focus her attention on doing her job.

"Gusto ko sanang mag-concentrate sa trabaho kasi sa tingin ko lang, ang daming viciousness ngayon sa internet. Meron kaming mandato na kailangang gampanan, na kung magpapadala kami sa kasamaan na nangyayari online, paano namin magagampanan yung aming mandato?" Robredo explained.

Robredo maintained that she will do her best to perform her duties and responsibilities amidst issues thrown at her.

"Sa akin naman, as much as I can, yung focus ko, nasa trabaho kaya kahit ganun yung tira sa akin, pinagbubuhusan ko talaga ng panahon yung trabaho ko," she stressed.

Meanwhile, Communications Secretary Martin Andanar assured that National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon Jr. and online forensics experts are investigating the rumors.
