Palace on VP Sara's claims she's no longer talking to senators: Tell it to the Marines

Malacañang on Wednesday slammed Vice President Sara Duterte for saying that she is no longer communicating with several senators who are seemingly supportive of her, as they were allegedly being harassed by the administration.

''It's another story telling a lie. Tandaan po natin, hindi natin malaman kung saan ba nanggagaling ang kanilang mga talent sa pag-i-spread ng mga fake news. Nauna na pong nagpakalat ng fake news ang Bise Presidente patungkol sa diumano’y pagkaing baboy lamang ang bente pesos na bigas na ipapamigay, or rather, ibibigay at ibibenta sa mas murang halaga ng Pangulo through KADIWA centers,'' Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro said in a briefing.

(It's another story telling a lie. Let's remember, we don't know where they get their talent in spreading fake news. She previously spread fake news about the P20 per kilo of rice that is being sold in KADIWA centers.) 

''Nandiyan din po iyong fake police blotter, altered police blotter mula sa Beverly Hills. Nandiyan din po iyong mga fake videos – hindi isa, kung hindi dalawa – laban sa Pangulo at sa ating Unang Ginang. Lahat ng iyan ay fake,'' she added.

(There's the fake police blotter supposedly from Beverly Hills, as well as the fake videos against the President and the First Lady. They are all fake.)

Castro further dismissed Duterte's remarks, saying, ''Just tell it to the Marines.'' 

Duterte made the statement when asked about the supposed term-sharing in the Senate leadership.

It seemed that she was clueless about the proposed term-sharing in the Senate leadership, and revealed that the reason was that she was no longer speaking with her allies there.—LDF, GMA Integrated News
