Palace: Sara is talented in spreading falsehoodsIn a Facebook post on Aug. 5, 2025, Vice President Sara Duterte shared photos of her administering the oath of office to newly elected officials of the Island Garden City of Samal, Davao del Norte. This was Malacañang’s reaction to Vice President Sara Duterte’s claim that she has stopped talking to her senator allies because the Marcos administration threatens or harasses those who help or speak to her. The Beverly Hills police clarified that the report, which circulated on social media, had been altered, according to the Philippine consulate in Los Angeles. “It’s another storytelling lie... We do not know when their talent for spreading fake news originated,” Castro said at a press briefing yesterday. The Vice President resigned as education secretary and vice chairperson of the government’s anti-insurgency task force in June 2024, after her relationship with the Marcoses soured.
