Escudero says Sara tirades vs. Marcos ‘unbecoming’ of VP position
Senate President Francis "Chiz" Escudero deemed Vice President Sara Duterte's recent criticisms against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. as "unbecoming of the second highest official of the land."
Escudero urged the Vice President to be more cautious with her words, stating that expressing frustration should not be an excuse to use inappropriate language.
The Senate President's remarks came after Duterte's two-hour press briefing where she accused the Marcos family of using her to secure the presidency.
During the briefing, Duterte also alleged that Senator Imee Marcos threatened to exhume the body of the late dictator and dispose of it in the West Philippine Sea.
