Speaker Martin Romualdez wasn't in the picture when Vice President Sara Duterte decided to run for the second highest elective position in 2022, Duterte said.
Vice President Sara Duterte said Speaker Martin Romualdez wasn't in the picture when she decided to run for the second highest elective position in 2022.
Barzaga said Romualdez became close to Duterte "because he was among those who convinced her to run for the post under the UniTeam ticket, which was headed by his cousin, who is now the President." She said it was Senator Imee Marcos "who eventually persuaded me to run as Vice President—and it was a decision sealed only after President Bongbong Marcos agreed to the conditions I set before running for VP.""Cavite Rep. Elpidio Barzaga Jr. was obviously badly informed or made to believe a lie," she added.In a statement issued on Wednesday, Barzaga said Romualdez continued to work on the priority bills of the Marcos administration despite Duterte's "insinuations.
"In your ambition, do not be tambaloslos," Duterte said, without naming the person to whom she was referring.After Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo was removed from being Senior Deputy Speaker and relegated to Deputy Speaker, Duterte resigned from the Lakas-CMD—the party under which she ran in 2022.
