As the #NasaanAngPangulo and #LetLeniLead went viral, more personalities used this to praise the Vice President’s initiative and leadership during the typhoon.
Philanthropist Francis Baraan highlighted how Duterte’s incompetence is always present in every natural disaster, which says that it would be better if Robredo is the one leading.
#NasaanAngPangulo becoming a mainstay trending topic reveals the massive incompetence & regular absence of Duterte as Father of the Nation.

I know that the Presidency is a colossal enterprise. It's a big job.
Kaya 'pag di na kaya, MAG-RESIGN NA.#LetLeniLead na lang ang bansa.
VP Leni was also compared to Duterte by another Netizen @lawyer_punk. He made a contrast between Robredo’s physical involvement in relief operations to Duterte just doing an aerial inspection, “Langya, parang si Leni ang presidente a. Yung isa hanggang ‘aerial inspection’ lang kasama pa yung jowa niya. Inutil talaga.”

Netizen Bryan Gonzales also believed that Leni Robredo is the ‘working’ president at the moment, also emphasizing the intervention of Robredo is the kind of governance we most need, but we still take for granted, “These past few hours, our working President was Leni Robredo. What transpired under her lead is a glimpse of the kind of leadership that we have always taken for granted: a responsive government that works with a vibrant and proactive civil society.”

Nuelle Duterte, The Niece of President Rodrigo Duterte wants Vice President Leni Robredo to lead the country instead of her uncle. If you're still not convinced, then wake up.

So… Now we are dependent on knowing what’s happening and what’s the plan of the armed forces to help those in the flooded areas of Isabela and Cagayan, from the Twitter feed of Vice President @lenirobredo .

Since Day 1 of the aftermath of Typhoon Ulysses in Cagayan, Robredo has been there to make assessments and give relief assistance to impacted people.
The Vice President even said that the situation in typhoon-battered Cagayan is much worse even as some areas remain flooded due to Typhoon Ulysses.
During her visit to Tuguegarao City, Robredo went live on her Facebook page, accompanied by Councilor Marj Poblete Martin.
