Sara Duterte told to stop spending too much time on Netflix
Camiguin Rep. Jurdin Jesus Romualdo advised Vice President Sara Duterte to be more cautious with her statements and avoid using Netflix series as a basis for her actions as a public official.
Romualdo's statement came after Duterte announced her absence from President Marcos' upcoming third State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 22, citing being the 'designated survivor,' a reference to a Netflix thriller.
Senior Deputy Speaker Aurelio Gonzales Jr. also criticized Duterte, stating that there is no such thing as a 'designated survivor' in the Philippines and suggesting she read the Constitution.
Gonzales urged the Vice President to be more circumspect and responsible in her utterances due to her high office.
Romualdo expressed concern over Duterte's remark, questioning if she had a premonition of disaster and suggesting she limit her viewing of such shows.
He emphasized that her joke was inappropriate given the presence of numerous high-ranking officials at the SONA.
