Vice President Sara Duterte makes remarks comparing the appearance of a 68-year-old person to a “corpse,” after being asked how she maintains her glow amid political attacks. In a chance interview reported by multiple outlets, Duterte responds that her appearance has not changed much since 2022, saying she only adds more skincare as she gets older. She then says it is “tough” when someone is 38 but appears much older. Separate reporting also describes Duterte’s comment as a “swipe” at a 68-year-old, and notes that the remark is linked to her wider public criticisms involving President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos’ appearance. The sources frame the statement as part of Duterte’s discussion of aging, skincare, and her experience of being targeted in political debate. While the reports agree on the core language and context of her comment, they do not provide additional identifying details about who is referenced by the “68-year-old.”
