MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. smiled and walked away when asked about Vice President Sara Duterte’s accusation that he does not know how to be president.

In a press conference last Friday, Duterte said the Philippines was on the “road to hell” as Marcos does not know how to do his job.

She also said she was blamed several times for the country’s current situation because she chose not to run for president in the 2022 elections.

Duterte also claimed she had a list of impeachable offenses that could remove Marcos from office, but she did not disclose what these offenses were.
