Vice-President Sara Duterte has refuted claims that she had hurt first lady Liza Araneta Marcos’ feelings, emphasizing that personal emotions should not impact her official duties. The feud between the two women began after Marcos rebuked Duterte for her alleged laughter during an incident involving the president’s father, Marcos Sr., hurling insults. Duterte addressed the matter publicly in a social media video, asserting that her mandate as a government official should not be influenced by personal feelings.
