MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. opted not to comment on Vice President Sara Duterte’s remarks about exhuming his father’s body and then throwing it into the West Philippine Sea.

In an ambush interview after attending a Mass for his dead father on All Saints’ Day at the Libingan ng mga Bayani in Taguig City, Marcos was asked to react to Duterte’s pronouncements that drew criticisms, especially from administration allies.

“I’d rather not,” the President answered.
