Palace says VP's criticisms reflect on her family

Malacañang responded to Vice President Sara Duterte's criticisms by suggesting her remarks reflected on herself and the Duterte family.

During a PDP Laban event, Duterte alleged a "systematic demolition job" against political opponents.

Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro stated that Duterte's negative comments seemed to describe her own family.

Duterte had previously criticized the current leadership for lacking the ability to understand the people's plight and make welfare-oriented decisions.

She also questioned the leader's refusal to undergo a public hair follicle drug test and accused them of lying about achieving P20 per kilo rice.

The Vice President also criticized the administration for allowing the arrest of her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, and his eventual transfer to the International Criminal Court.
