VP Sara crossed the line, says Marcos son
Ilocos Norte Rep. Sandro Marcos stated that Vice President Sara Duterte "crossed the line" with her recent remarks targeting his family, calling her actions a "bizarre temper tantrum."
Marcos specifically addressed Duterte's threats to exhume his grandfather, former president Ferdinand Marcos Sr., and to behead his father, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
He explained that he remained silent out of respect for the Vice President's office but could no longer do so as a son witnessing such threats.
The lawmaker noted that the nation has expressed horror at Duterte's insensitive and cruel displays.
Marcos also clarified that his father, the President, had not made any statements against Duterte that could be interpreted as a rebuke.
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin C. Remulla stated that the Department of Justice is looking into the possibility of filing charges against Ms. Carpio for her statements regarding the remains of late former President Ferdinand E. Marcos, Sr.
