Leaders of the House of Representatives on Sunday rallied behind President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in criticizing former President Rodrigo Duterte for
believing that killing Filipinos is the only solution to every problem.
“The former President and his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, are really like that — fond of threatening ,” Ortega said. “That kind of attitude is not very Filipino. We Filipinos do not do that because that is bad,” he added. “Both father and daughter are just the same. Maybe a case may be filed against the former President Duterte for what he is doing, just like the complaint filed by the National Bureau of Investigation against VP Sara Duterte,” he noted.
“The case against the Vice President sends the message that under this government, no one is above the law,” he stressed.
