MANILA -- Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo on Monday vowed to oppose a new authoritarian regime in the country, after political differences with President Rodrigo Duterte forced her to quit the cabinet.

"Above all, we will strongly remain vigilant and cautious to prevent another return of any form of dictatorship," Robredo said on Monday, stopping short of directly referring to Duterte as a dictator-in-the-making.
