Defining the News
Vice President Sara Duterte on Monday addressed the comments of First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos against her.
“Mga kababayan, bilang tao, karapatan ni Unang Ginang Liza Marcos na makaramdam ng sama ng loob at galit. Subalit ang kanyang personal na damdamin ay walang kinalaman sa aking mandato bilang isang opisyal ng pamahalaan,” Duterte said in a video statement.The Education Secretary added that she will leave the matter to a private discussion between her and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. moving forward.
Instead of responding directly to Araneta-Marcos, Duterte said we should focus instead on resolving national issues.“Patuloy ang pagtaas ng presyo ng pagkain at iba pang mga bilihin at ito ay mas nagpapahirap pa sa dinaranas na gutom o kawalan ng sapat na pagkain ng mahihirap natin kababayan,” she said.
The Vice President also mentioned other issues like lack of electrical and water supply, proliferation of drugs, as well as criminality and other security threats.Araneta-Marcos previously said that Duterte “crossed the line” when the latter allegedly laughed at former President Rodrigo Duterte calling Mr. Marcos “bangag .”
