President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. responds to Vice President Sara Duterte’s claim that the administration is trying to stop the 2028 elections by laughing when asked for comment. In a media interview in Pasay City, reporters sought his reaction to Duterte’s earlier remark, in which she described the alleged move as “becoming increasingly diabolical.” Marcos does not provide a substantive answer and instead turns away from the media after briefly laughing.
The two outlets agree on the core detail of Marcos’s reaction, presenting it as dismissive rather than a direct denial or confirmation. Both reports focus on the immediate exchange between Duterte’s accusation and Marcos’s refusal to engage publicly with it. Neither source provides further specifics on any alleged administrative plan, legal actions, or statements from other officials regarding the 2028 polls. The coverage therefore centers on the public dispute between the president and vice president rather than confirmed steps affecting the election timeline.
