Sara Duterte takes swipe at 68-year-old who ‘looks like a corpse’
Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte has drawn criticism for her remark about a 68-year-old person who she said "looks like a corpse." The comment, made in response to a supporter's question about maintaining her glow, has sparked controversy over the unspecified individual and a perceived lack of consideration regarding age.
Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte on Monday took a swipe at someone who was only 68 years old but already looked like a "corpse." Duterte said this after a supporter candidly asked her how she maintains her glow despite being constantly politically attacked. "There hasn’t really been much difference in me from 2022," Duterte said, referring to herself. The Vice President then added her remark about the 68-year-old individual. The specific person Duterte was referring to was not identified, but the comment has since drawn criticism online for its perceived insensitivity and personal attack on an individual based on their appearance and age. In the Philippines, public statements by politicians, especially those in high office, often come under scrutiny, and this remark is no exception, sparking debate about decorum and respect in public discourse. The incident highlights the sensitive nature of comments made by public figures and their potential to cause offense. Source: Inquirer NewsInfo
