Sara Duterte confident she won’t be implicated in flood control scandal
Vice President Sara Duterte stated her confidence that she will not be implicated in the ongoing flood control scandal, asserting that neither the Office of the Vice President nor the Department of Education, during her tenure as secretary, handled any flood control projects.
She emphasized that her office's budget did not include any insertions and that she does not involve herself in such matters.
Duterte acknowledged the possibility that attempts might be made to link her to the issue, speculating it could be a narrative driven by Senator Bong Go's alliance with former President Duterte.
She cited statements from Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla and DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon regarding potential ties between Senator Bong Go and government contractors Sarah and Curlee Discayas.
