Pimentel says VP Sara needs professional help after ‘unusual’ behavior, remarks on Marcos
Senate Minority Leader Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III believes Vice President Sara Duterte needs professional help and to confide in close friends and family.
Pimentel finds Duterte's recent remarks, including conjuring cutting off President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s head and her comments about exhuming the late President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.'s body, to be unusual and worrying.
He expressed that such sentiments should be shared with medical professionals and loved ones rather than stated publicly during a press conference.
Pimentel was initially shocked by Duterte's statements, comparing them to artificial intelligence before realizing they were real.
