VP Sara slams Boying Remulla: He doesn’t know the law
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is examining the legal implications of Vice President Sara Duterte's recent statements, which Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla described as "disturbing" and a violation of moral principles.
Remulla stated that the Vice President's remarks "desecrate the memory of a person" and are "unbecoming" of the country's second-highest official.
Vice President Duterte made controversial remarks against President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on October 18, threatening to exhume his father's remains and discard them in the West Philippine Sea.
In response, Duterte accused Remulla of not knowing the law and being slow, stating there is a "big difference" between talking about desecrating a body and actually doing it.
She clarified that "desecrating a body is not desecrating the dead" and expressed hope that Remulla, as a lawyer, would understand this distinction.
