Malacañang has condemned former president Rodrigo “Rody” Duterte’s call to overthrow President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., describing it as “selfish.”
“No motive is more selfish than calling for a sitting president to be overthrown so that your daughter (Vice President Sara Duterte) can take over,” Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin said in a statement.
“And he (Duterte) will go to great and evil lengths, such as insulting our professional Armed Forces by asking them to betray their oath, for his plan to succeed,” he added.
Bersamin criticized him for urging the military to launch a coup against the Marcos administration and urged the ex-president to follow the constitution.
The Cabinet official also reaffirmed that the present administration will continue to govern in accordance with the constitution and the rule of law.IMT
