We were the dominant party and suddenly...nasa baba and we were not prepared for it,&quot; she said.(The LP was caught unawares...We were the dominant party and suddenly...we were at the bottom and we were not prepared for it.)The Liberal Party has since been <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/12/05/16/liberal-party-urged-to-leave-supermajority">asked</a> to leave the supermajority of Congress, which is dominated by supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte, and follow the footsteps of Robredo who left her post as Housing Secretary.However, Robredo said that since the party now has an acting President, Francis &quot;Kiko&quot; Pangilinan, they are set to formally convene in the first quarter of 2017, most likely in January.The Vice President also dismissed allegations that she is a &quot;minion&quot; of the LP, and responded to the accusations of the President against the &quot;yellows,&quot; of planning his ouster since they cannot accept defeat.&quot;I think at this time it is unfair for the Liberal Party to be accused,&quot; Robredo said.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/12/08/16/kiko-no-yellow-plot-for-duterte-ouster">Kiko: No &#x27;yellow&#x27; plot for Duterte ouster</a></li></ul>
