Sara Duterte fires back at Palace exec over ‘fake news’ remark
Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Press Officer Claire Castro criticized Vice President Sara Duterte for allegedly spreading fake news and not elevating her discourse.
Castro questioned why the Marcos administration was being blamed for an issue involving Davao City 1st District Rep. Paolo "Pulong" Duterte, noting the congressman did not deny a viral video showing him appearing to strike another individual.
In response, Vice President Duterte called Castro's statements "trash" and advised the public to stop listening to her.
Duterte also referred to Claire Castro and ACT Teachers party-list Rep. France Castro as having a "garbage in, garbage out" family, implying their words are always trash, though both Castros have stated they are not related.
This exchange follows Castro's earlier remarks responding to Duterte's allegations that the Marcos administration uses diversionary tactics during controversies.
