VP Sara Duterte Speaks Up on Issue About her Birthday Message to President Marcos Jr
Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio issues statement clarifying the alleged issue on her birthday message for President Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr.
On Facebook, Duterte released a statement to address the controversy surrounding her birthday message to President Bongbong Marcos. She claims that she did nothing more than express her gratitude to the man for his genuine concern for a working mother.
“For the President’s birthday, I expressed my appreciation for the man who has shown great concern for a working mother and how he provided his all-out support for his Vice President to be able to move around quickly and accomplish work efficiently,” said Duterte in his Facebook post on Thursday, September 15.
“An appreciation was also extended to the President’s team, who works long hours, tirelessly hopping from one island province to another to reach our fellow Filipinos,” she added.
The vice president, meantime, attacked the source of the purportedly false information that she regularly utilized a helicopter to travel between Davao and her residence. She advised him to think carefully about his need to lie.
” I believe that a person who can conjure a lie from an appreciation post — that a helicopter is being used to go home every day, even giving in to the itch of maliciously suggesting that it is for personal use — should seriously reflect on why he had to lie,” she said.
“I think that if this person can recognize his anger, he will be able to overcome his bitter and spiteful self. Hopefully, he becomes a better version of himself — despite the cycle of hate that has enslaved him,” she added.
Previously, 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. According to Munsayac, VP Sara and his family are presently residing in Manila.
The children of Duterte are also enrolled in Manila schools, Munsayac continued. According to Munsayac, Duterte uses ground vehicles on a daily basis and only uses helicopters for official activities and events when they are absolutely necessary, which would depend on the location and the urgency of the schedule.
