Rep. Marcos on VP Sara: ‘She crossed the line’
Ferdinand Alexander Marcos, the president’s son and Ilocos Norte representative, broke his silence to respond to Vice President Sara Duterte’s remarks that she imagined beheading President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and threatened to exhume former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. and throw his remains into the West Philippine Sea (WPS).
Rep. Marcos stated in a statement that he restrained his tongue out of respect for the Vice President, citing the mandate she was given and the responsibilities of her post.
But as a son, Rep. Marcos said, “I cannot stay silent while she threatens to exhume a former president and behead an incumbent one. Besides, her bizarre temper tantrum has been condemned by a nation horrified from such displays of insensitivity towards the dead and cruelty to the living.”
“Going ballistic was perhaps the self-therapy she prescribed for herself,” he continued.
“But she crossed the line, leaving the civic and civil space in which disagreements can be rationally argued,” the young Marcos added.
He stressed that the President “had not said anything against her that can be remotely construed even as a mild rebuke against her tirades.”
