Vice President Sara Duterte has formally broke her silence regarding the viral videos and photos of her, together with Alyansa bets Senator Imee Marcos and Las Piñas Rep. Camille Villar.
In a statement, the country’s second top government official said that she is formally endorsing Marcos, Villar and the whole “Team Duter10” slate of PDP-Laban, the party of his father, detained former President Rodrigo Duterte.
The “Team Duter10” slate are composed of: re-electionist Senators Bong Go and Bato dela Rosa, Philip Salvador, Rep. Dante Marcoleta, Atty. Jimmy Bondoc, Atty. Jayvee Hinlo, Atty. Raul Lambino, Dr. Richard Mata, detained Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and Atty. Vic Rodriguez.
Duterte said she is endorsing the said candidates to ensure “peaceful” and “prosperous” Philippines.
“The #Duter10 senatorial candidates, running under former President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s PDP Laban, together with reelectionist Senator Imee Marcos and Representative Camille Villar, are united by a common vision — a peaceful and prosperous Philippines,” Duterte said.
Duterte’s endorsement of Marcos is a contrary to her statement last year that she will no longer endorse a “Marcos”, after her fall-out with her then 2022 running mate, President Bongbong Marcos Jr.
