Newsbreak Chats: Sara Duterte and the questions ‘shimenet’ like to answer
MANILA, Philippines – The public has been seeing a different Vice President Sara Duterte in recent weeks.
What used to be a feared public official — she’s the daughter of a former president, after all — is now backed into a corner as she faces many questions regarding her performance as education secretary, her public spending, and her alliance with the fugitive Apollo Quiboloy.
On Thursday, September 5, Rappler managing editor Miriam Grace Go sits down with multimedia reporters Bonz Magsambol and Dwight de Leon to discuss the ongoing saga involving Sara Duterte and what could happen in the future.
Magsambol covers the Senate while De Leon follows the House of Representatives, both chambers of Congress that have conducted their own hearings on related issues and controversies.
Can we expect the Vice President to unravel some more?
