”Castro also took exception to Vice President Sara Duterte’s statement that there was “no question” about her readiness to lead the country should Marcos step down amid allegations of budget insertions and drug use. She said the Vice President is only fueling political instability.

In her press briefing on Wednesday, Nov. 26, Castro cited that such statements undermine confidence in the administration.
