Malacañang on Sunday said it will investigate online reports of supposed plots to oust President Rodrigo R. Duterte, dubbed as "Lenileaks."
According to a report on 24 Oras, Communications Secretary Martin M. Andanar said the President is aware of moves to unseat him, and he would not be happy if such plans were proven to be true.
"Knowledgeable naman ang presidente sa moves ng opposition to oust him at ang presidente hindi matutuwa kung mapapatunayang totoo ang Lenileaks na ito," he said.
Andanar said that Malacañang has reached out to the sources of the information and it is already being looked into by National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon Jr.
"Magbibigay ng rekomendasyon si Secretary Esperon kung ano ang nararapat na gawin. Hindi dapat na pangunahan ang rekomendasyon ni Secretary Esperon," he added.
The "Lenileaks" was supposedly "leaked emails" posted online which allegedly showed exchanges between Filipino-American philanthropist Loida Nicolas-Lewis and her sister, former Commission on Filipinos Overseas Chair Imelda "Mely" Nicolas.
Vice President Leni Robredo, who resigned as Housing Secretary after being barred by Duterte from attending Cabinet meetings last month, had denied any connection to plans of ousting the President.
"Ako naniniwala ako na hindi makakabuti sa bansa natin na gumawa na naman tayo ng mga 'oust the president' movement," she said during her visit in Lambunao, Iloilo on Saturday.
Last week, Robredo also said she does not believe that a "blueprint," supposedly detailing a plot to remove Duterte from power, exists.
"Ako, hindi ako naniniwala na mayroong ganoon," she said.
