Sara travels to Kuwait for OFWs, defends trips

Vice President Sara Duterte traveled to Kuwait on Friday, August 15, to meet with Filipino migrant workers and address their concerns.

During her visit, Duterte emphasized her commitment to advocate for the welfare of all Filipinos, including those overseas, as part of her mandate to represent them.

The Office of the Vice President (OVP) defended Duterte's frequent foreign trips on Saturday, August 16, stating that they comply with government regulations and do not use public funds.

Malacañang has criticized Duterte's travels, saying they would not solve the country's problems and are a personal matter.

Despite limitations in capacity and budget, Vice President Duterte’s office remains committed to serving and assisting Filipinos both at home and abroad.

The OVP also stated that Duterte will continue working on securing the release of former President Rodrigo Duterte from detention in The Hague, Netherlands.
