A day before the second round of deliberations for the Office of the Vice President’s (OVP) proposed 2025 budget, Vice President Sara Duterte denied allegations that she acted like a “bratinella (spoiled brat)” when she refused to answer questions from members of the House committee on appropriations during the first round of budget deliberations last month.

00:00I'm used to answering questions about things.
00:05That's why I give interviews,
00:08even if it's not an arranged interview,
00:11ambush interviews of the media
00:13where they get the questions of the people.
00:16I'm used to that.
00:18And the people know that I'm not a bratinella or spoiled brat
00:24because they know me since I was still in Davao,
00:28since I was still a mayor,
00:30until I became vice president.
00:33The people know me,
00:35that I don't abuse my power and authority
00:39in all the offices that I hold.
00:44The whole country knows that I'm not a spoiled brat.
00:50In fact, when I grew up,
00:53my friends are not from a political family,
00:58from a rich family, from a powerful family.
01:02They are just ordinary people,
01:05and that's what I raised.
01:08An ordinary environment of an ordinary citizen of our country.
01:18In my opinion,
01:20it's just that some members of the House of Representatives
01:28are not used to getting what they want
01:32and they want to hear the answer.
01:35And it's just that some of our representatives
01:39are not used to answering their questions.
01:47So in my opinion,
01:48this is also one of their attacks,
01:51that I'm a bratinella.
01:53Even if I answer,
01:55it's just not what they want.
