OVP Spox Debunks Fake News Claiming VP Sara is Always Using Chopper
The Office of the Vice President (OVP) spox debunked the fake news claiming that Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio is always using the presidential chopper.
In an interview, the vice presidential spokesperson Atty. Reynold Munsayac refuted rumors spreading on social media that Vice President Duterte takes a helicopter to get to Davao every day. Munsayac claims that VP Sara and his family are currently based in Manila.
“Fake news ho yan na araw-araw ginagamit yung chopper para umuwi sa Davao. Una ho, Manila-based na si VP at kaniyang pamilya. Dito na po nag-aaral ang kaniyang mga anak tapos land vehicles po yung ginagamit nila,” he said.
Munsayac continued that the children of Duterte are also enrolled in school in Manila. Duterte employs land vehicles on a daily basis, according to Munsayac, and only uses helicopters when absolutely necessary for official tasks and events, which would depend on the destination and the urgency of the schedule.
“Tsaka ho lahat ng nakakakilala kay VP, yung history ng public service niya alam na napaka-efficient niya at palagi niyang poprotektahan yung government resources. Ginagamit lang po ang chopper kapag kailangan sa official work and functions, based sa lugar na pupuntahan at urgency of schedule,” he added.
The spokesperson added that she would supposedly ride aboard if it was found that a helicopter could fly from Manila to Davao. The OVP confirmed that given VP Sara’s background in public service, everyone who has dealt with her is aware of her high level of efficiency and commitment to safeguarding government assets at all times.
“Ngayon kung meron na pong nakadiskubre ng chopper na kayang lumipad ng manila papuntang davao eh makikisakay po ako.”
On Tuesday, September 13, when Duterte wished President Bongbong Marcos a happy birthday, the story of the helicopter first surfaced. It received a range of responses from online users.
