Senate President Francis Escudero expressed disappointment over Vice President Sara Duterte’s comments about President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his family.
He believes that the Vice President’s behavior is inappropriate for someone in her position.
Duterte’s “acerbic” comments against the First Family and certain government personalities during a live press conference have reflected poorly on her, said Escudero.
“Unbecoming ang mga ganyang uri ng pahayag lalo na sa pangalawang pinakamataas na opisyal ng ating bansa,” he also said.
But, the senator from Sorsogon said that public opinions on the Vice President’s comments do not affec t the economy or the country overall.
“Kung may epekto man ito ay sa stabilidad ng opisina ng Vice President pero hindi sa pamahalaan mismo.
“Sana maging mas maingat sa mga salitang binibitiwan. Bahagi marahil ang paglalabas ng sama ng loob sa buhay ng tao pero hindi siguro rason ‘yun at lisensya na buksan ang paggamit ng mga salita na napapakinggan ng bata man o matanda,” according to him.
Meanwhile, Escudero remains hopeful that Marcos Jr. and Duterte, who were running mates in the 2022 elections, will reconcile soon.
“Sa tagal ko sa pulitika mas marami pa akong higit na mahiwaga pang napanood. May posibilidad ‘yun at ito ay mas makakabuti sa ating bansa sa aking paniniwala. Mabuti rin naman at hindi mapagpatol si number 1 sa mga patutsada ni number 2,” he said.IMT
