A lawyer and television host criticized Vice President Robredo after releasing her ICAD findings on Monday.
On a Facebook post, Atty. Bruce Rivera addressed Robredo after the latter called the Oplan Tokhang of President Rodrigo Duterte a ‘failure’ and even gave it a 1 over 100 score.
According to Rivera, Robredo is not in the position to give a grade to the Oplan Tokhang launched by the government and she became an ICAD chair because the President wanted her to improve the said agency.
“Yung totoo Madame, talaga bang gumagana yang neurons mo sa utak o naging latak na yan kakasinghot ng dahon ng eucalyptus galing sa nasusunog na gubat sa Australia. Anlayo pa nung usok pero umabot na sa kaisa-isang brain cell na humahawak ng logic sa utak mo,” said Rivera.
“1/100 ba kamo? Ang trabaho mo ay pagandahin ang programa ng ICAD at hindi ka naman evaluating committee na magbibigay ng grado. Trabaho ng boss mo ang mag-evaluate. Sino nga ba nagbigay ng job mo? Ayyy, si PRD. At sino nagbigay ng trabaho kay PRD? Ayyy, di ang mga Pinoy. Antaas ng approval ng boss mo. Ang trabaho mo ay hahalili kay PRD kung matigok siya at gawin ang trabaho na ibibigay niya sa yo. Bagay na HINDI mo nagagawa kasi inuna mo maging lider ng oposisyon.” he added.
Rivera then also asked Robredo about her basis for giving the government a very low score and called her useless for not thinking about solving problems in the country.
“Oh wait….ikaw ang problema ng Pilipinas. At malamang kaya may 1 sa 100, ikaw ang nagbigay ng 1 sa sarili mo bilang ICAD Co-Chairperson,” he said.
“Kaya tayo kulelat sa edukasyon. Yung Bise ninyo, ang alam gawin…BYOG. Bring Your Own Grade!!!!!” he added.
On Monday, Robredo made a recommendation to the government, including scrapping Oplan Tokhang and separating pushers and users in rehabilitation facilities.
Robredo’s statement received mixed reactions on social media.
