VICE President Sara Duterte voiced her support to SMNI anchors detained at the House of Representatives.
Duterte spoke up to vouch for the integrity of hosts Lorraine Badoy at Jeffrey ‘Ka Eric’ Celiz, who have been detained for contempt after supposedly failing to respond appropriately during a House probe regarding SMNI’s false news report about Speaker Martin Romualdez’s billion-peso travel budget.
“Kahanga-hanga ang tapang at tatag na ipinamalas nina Dr. Badoy at Ka Eric para ipaglaban ang ating karapatan at itaguyod ang ating Saligang Batas,” Duterte said.
“Simbolo sila ng isang bayan na naninindigan ng tama at naninindigan para sa tama.”
“May kapangyarihan ang bayang nagkakaisa para sa pagsulong ng ating karapatan, para sa katarungan, katotohanan, at sa pagtatatag ng mapayapa at matibay na bayan,” she added.
