“Vice President Sara Duterte retracted a statement posted on her Facebook page expressing support and calling for the commemoration of the 38th anniversary of the 1986 people power revolution. Her staff said the statement was mistakenly posted without her approval.”
What Vera Files found
The Office of the Vice President deleted a Feb. 25 statement which would have been Duterte's first on the EDSA anniversary and would have been a significant shift from her 2017 statement questioning why the 1986 uprising has become the "standard definition of freedom in the country."
