Not 'tokhang'-style: Palace reacts to Sara’s 'one-day' claim in flood control probes
Malacañang, through Palace Press Officer Claire Castro, strongly rebuked Vice President Sara Duterte for her statement that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s investigation into anomalous flood-control projects was a "zarzuela."
Castro called Duterte's suggestion that the investigation could be concluded in a single day "absolutely preposterous."
She emphasized that President Marcos Jr. respects due process and human rights, and does not conduct investigations in a "tokhang-style way."
Castro suggested that if corruption could be exposed in one day, the Vice President might have offered that approach to her father, former president Rodrigo Duterte.
She also questioned whether any DPWH secretary was removed during Duterte's term, referencing a 2020 article about "ghost" projects.
