President Rodrigo Duterte hit Vice President Leni Robredo during his weekly address, reported CNN.
He took aim due to the statement of VP Leni, saying that to ask the U.S. to pay to be able to retain the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) is akin to extortion.
Duterte taking a jab at VP said, "Itong kay Robredo, sabi ko nga ma'am, kung ikaw ang presidente, hindi mo alam ang trabaho mo, dapat alam mo 'yan kasi abogado ka. You should not open your mouth when we are negotiating because maraming kasalanan ang Amerika sa atin."
