Palace hits Sara Duterte: Aren’t you one of this country’s problems?
Malacañang criticized Vice President Sara Duterte's recent statements against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., suggesting her criticisms are more applicable to herself and her family.
The Vice President had previously stated that the Philippines elected a leader incapable of understanding the Filipino people and that the nation is suffering the consequences of choosing poorly.
Palace communications Undersecretary Claire Castro countered that Duterte's negative remarks seem to reflect her own situation and that of the Duterte family.
Castro pointed to alleged neglect within the Department of Education during Duterte's leadership as DepEd secretary, highlighting issues such as undelivered laptops, spoiled milk, and ghost student scams.
Specifically, Castro mentioned 1.5 million DepEd laptops stuck in warehouses since 2020, P5.7 billion in spoiled milk and Nutribun, and a P65 million recovery from ghost student schemes.
Castro also noted that current Education Secretary Sonny Angara addressed the laptop issue and recovered funds related to ghost students.
