VP Sara tells PBBM national issues more important than friendship

Vice President Sara Duterte stated that the President's feelings are not important given the numerous national issues the country faces, questioning why President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has time to focus on their friendship.

Duterte emphasized that the President should prioritize national concerns like hunger and rising prices over personal matters, especially with the Christmas season approaching.

Marcos had previously expressed disappointment, stating he felt 'deceived' after Duterte denied their friendship.

The Vice President remarked that the President has too much time if he is preoccupied with one woman's "deception."

She suggested that Marcos refrain from mentioning her name to avoid personal issues being discussed in press briefings.

Duterte jokingly added that the tagline for the Office of the Vice President is now "drag me to hell."
