Palace slams VP Sara for not helping Marcos Jr. with ₱20/kilo rice promise

The Palace has criticized Vice President Sara Duterte for stating she will not help President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. achieve his campaign promise of selling rice at ₱20 per kilogram.

Palace Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro accused the Vice President of showing "true colors" and selfishness for withholding any potential knowledge she might have to help the President.

Duterte had previously stated in an interview that selling rice at ₱20 per kilo was not feasible but added that she would not share her insights because she did not want to help President Marcos Jr.

Castro emphasized that the Vice President's knowledge for the benefit of the people should be acted upon immediately.

This exchange is not the first time Castro and Duterte have publicly disagreed over the P20-per-kilo rice promise.
