She didn’t mean to, so she removed it.
Vice President Sara Duterte said this after admitting she had her EDSA People Power anniversary message on Feb. 25 taken down from her website and social media accounts.
Duterte said she deleted her message to “maintain consistency” with the absence of such statements from the Office of the Vice President since she was elected in 2022 as President Marcos’ running mate.
“I did not intend to issue a statement this year as I did not the previous year,” the VP said in a statement.
“Because of this, I removed the Edsa anniversary post from my social media page. I hope this will put the matter to rest,” she added.
In the deleted statement, the Vice President praised the “brave souls who stood united” in the streets of EDSA to fight for democracy and freedom.
She also urged the public to remember the lessons of the EDSA People Power Revolution, which she said was the power of unity, Filipino spirit, and standing up for what is right.
However, the statement was deleted moments after it was posted.
