Marcos refuses to react to Sara Duterte's rant

PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Friday refused to comment on Vice President Sara Duterte's threat to dig up the remains of his father, former president Ferdinand Marcos Sr., at the Libingan ng mga Bayani in Taguig City.

«I'd rather not. Thank you,» Marcos told reporters after attending a mass for his father at the Libingan.

The President also refused to comment when asked about the falling out with Duterte. «Let's talk about it some other time,» he said.

During a press briefing last Oct. 18, Duterte delivered a lengthy diatribe against the President and his family that highlighted the worsening feud between the former running mates during the 2022 elections.

«One time, I told Senator Imee that if they (political attacks on the Dutertes) wouldn't stop, I would dig up her father's body and throw it in the West Philippine Sea,» Duterte said.

The vice president also said Marcos does not know how to govern the country.

Marcos said he was deceived when Duterte mentioned that they were never friends.
