VP Sara's tirades vs Marcos draw mixed reactions from lawmakers
Vice President Sara Duterte criticized President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s leadership, stating he "does not know how to be president" and that the country is heading towards ruin under his administration.
She resigned as education secretary in July, citing a "toxic" relationship with Marcos and observations within the administration.
Duterte believes Marcos used her in the 2022 elections to defeat former Vice President Leni Robredo.
She also claimed the Marcos administration is conducting a "PR attack" against her through a House panel investigation.
The Vice President had also threatened to desecrate the remains of former president Ferdinand Marcos Sr. if attacks against her continued.
Lawmakers have offered mixed reactions to Duterte's statements, with Senate President Francis "Chiz" Escudero calling them "unbecoming" of the country's second highest elected official.
Malacañang has declined to comment on the Vice President's remarks.
