CHIZ URGES SARA TO SET EXAMPLE, FOCUS ON NATION'S PRESSING CONCERNS Senate President Chiz Escudero expressed deep concern over Vice President Sara Duterte's latest public outburst, which was linked to the House of Representatives' detention of her chief of staff, Zuleika Lopez. Escudero emphasized the Vice President's responsibility as a public official to set an example, especially for the youth. "She should keep in mind that as a public official, she has a duty to set an example for the personnel in the Office of the Vice President and our fellow Filipinos, especially our children," Escudero said in a statement on Saturday, November 23. Duterte's profanity-laced attack on the First Family and House Speaker Martin Romualdez—claimed to be a reaction to alleged harassment against her office—has drawn significant criticism. Escudero urged Duterte's allies to guide her in refraining from making "indecorous and possibly criminal statements" that undermine her credibility and the nation. "Our government has urgent and pressing concerns it must address—matters that directly affect the lives and livelihoods of the Filipino people. It is imperative that we as public officials focus our energy and attention on resolving these issues," Escudero added. He underscored that such controversies distract from addressing the nation's urgent problems and expressed hope that Duterte would seek support if needed to regain composure. Escudero reminded public officials of their obligation to act with professionalism, as mandated by the Code of Conduct. "Let us all strive to have prudence, reason, and dignity in our words and actions for the good of the nation and the people we are duty-bound to serve," he concluded.
