READ: Duterte to Robredo: I'll give you my powers for 6 months, try solving problems
Pangilinan’s statement came after Duterte said he is willing to cede his law enforcement powers to Robredo for six months after the latter issued a fresh criticism of the administration’s war on drugs.
“I will surrender my powers to enforce the law. Ibigay ko sa Vice President. Ibigay ko sa kanya mga six months. Siya ang magdala. Tingnan natin kung ano mangyari. Hindi ako makialam. Sige, gusto mo? Mas bright ka? Sige. Ikaw. Subukan mo,” Duterte said.
“Gusto ko lang malaman kung kaya niya, marami kasi siyang sinasalita, anong pinagsasabi niya sa labas, do it here… six months, anytime, gusto niya ngayon? tawagan mo siya, I can talk to her tonight,” the President also said in another interview.

“Bakit naman six months lang? Gawin na nilang three years at sigurado ako hindi na papalusutin ang tonetoneladang shabu sa BoC (Bureau of Customs), wala na ang araw-araw na pagtugis ng mahihirap nating mga kababayan habang mga ninja cops at sindikato ay binibigyan ng mataas na posisyon, pinalalaya dahil sa GCTA (Good Conduct TIme Allowance) o inaabswelto at sigurado na hindi na tayo walang imik at sunud-sunuran sa China,” he said on his Facebook page.
“3 years na nilang hawak ang law enforcement so dapat lang 3 years din ang ibigay na oras para fair!” he added.
