00:00 President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday, April 23, downplaced the rift between First
00:05 Lady Liza Araneta Marcos and Vice President Sara Duterte, triggered by the First Lady's
00:10 interview with a radio personality uploaded Friday, April 19.
00:15 Marcos also brushes aside suggestions to remove Duterte, the Education Secretary, from his
00:19 cabinet.
00:20 "Any of the cabinet secretaries will be replaced if they don't do their job.
00:25 Inday is not like that."
00:27 Marcos says there is no need to patch things up, believing Duterte understands where his
00:30 wife is coming from.
00:32 Like Duterte, Marcos says the top two officials should discuss the matter privately.
00:36 In the interview, the First Lady said Sara crossed the line when she attended a rally
00:40 in Davao and allegedly laughed when her father, Rodrigo Duterte, referred to the president
00:45 as "high on drugs."
