In a statement posted by the Office of the Vice President on Monday, November 17, Duterte said Marcos faces a "profound crisis of confidence" in how corruption investigations are being handled, which "appear to lack both direction and resolve." She demanded answers on how the 2025 budget that "deprived Filipinos of billions and billions of pesos" was approved under his watch.
