VP Sara Duterte: Marcos ‘has the hallmark of a scammer'
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. "has not followed through with any of his campaign promises, and that is an example of the conflict with regard to our president," Vice President Sara Duterte said in an interview in Melbourne, Australia on June 22, 2025. Vice President Sara Duterte on Sunday slammed the performance of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., saying he has 'the hallmark of a scammer.' In an interview during a support rally in Melbourne, Australia on Sunday, Duterte said that she bore 'no ill feelings' towards her former Uniteam partner, but said that she found problems with his performance. 'I have no ill feelings with him with regard to the political persecution that I am receiving from the administration because that is part of the life of a politician. I have problems with his performance as president and I have problems with the violations of our fundamental law, our constitution, particularly with the rendition of former President [Rodrigo] Duterte. That was really an affront to Philippine sovereignty,' she said. The Duterte camp has maintained that the former President, the Vice President's father, was "kidnapped" when he was arrested on a warrant from the International Criminal Court and brought to The Hague to stand trial for alleged crimes against humanity. Duterte also claimed that Marcos gave conflicting statements, following his comments that he '[chose] not to' influence the impeachment courts. 'He has not followed through with any of his campaign promises, and that is an example of the conflict with regard to our president. And, well, 'budol' in English is 'scam,' no? We're not surprised. He has the hallmark of a scammer,' she added. Duterte also confirmed her office's statement that she has no intention of attending Marcos' State of the Nation Address next month, saying Marcos would not be 'providing anything substantial about [the] country.' 'It would be best to spend that time with the Filipino community, discussing what we can do for the country and to improve the country,' she said. Duterte also skipped Marcos's SONA last year, saying she had appointed herself the "designated survivor." — BM, GMA Integrated News

Robbers punch senior citizen, take P100K cash, jewelry
A 77-year-old senior citizen lost around P100,000 in cash and jewelry to robbers, who also punched her in the face and the leg, in a crime committed in broad daylight in Tondo, Manila. The victim, "Lola Minerva," was on her way home from the market when a man and a woman approached her and talked to her, eventually persuading her to board a car with her assailants. Inside the car, the suspects took away her cash and jewelry, and hurt her. She was dropped in the area of Baseco Compound and left her with P200 for transportation. The victim immediately reported the incident to the barangay for assistance. The barangay official said a portion of the road where the senior citizen passes by was closed that day, which prevented the pedicabs from entering and transporting residents to their homes. The official added that they have heard of the same modus victimizing the elderly who often go to the market. He said the barangay will assist the police in pursuing the case. —LDF, GMA Integrated News
