Palace Criticizes Sara Duterte's 2028 Presidential Polls Frontrunner Claim as Diversion
Malacañang dismissed Vice President Sara Duterte's assertion that the impeachment complaint against her is politically motivated due to her lead in the 2028 presidential polls. Palace Press Officer Claire Castro emphasized that the complaint is based on alleged misuse of confidential funds and other issues. Duterte's attempt to shift focus from accountability to her frontrunner status was labeled a diversionary tactic by Castro.
Malacañang criticized Vice President Sara Duterte for using a 'diversionary tactic' to deflect from the issues surrounding her alleged misuse of confidential funds and upcoming impeachment trial. Palace Press Officer Claire Castro dismissed Duterte's claim that the impeachment complaint was influenced by her being a frontrunner for the 2028 presidential polls. Castro emphasized that the complaint stemmed from anomalies related to the spending of the Vice President's confidential funds. She stated that focusing on being targeted as a frontrunner distracts from the real issue of accountability for the funds and other complaints in the impeachment articles.
In response, Duterte alleged that the impeachment was driven by her lead in the 2028 presidential race and accused the President of seeking to maintain power within his family. However, Castro urged Duterte to address the accountability issues rather than using her poll position as a shield. The Palace official stressed the importance of transparency and accountability for public officials.
