Malacañang press official Claire Castro recently suggested that the Vice President’s apparent lack of awareness regarding current administration policies stems from insufficient engagement by her own staff. This statement followed comments from Salvador Paolo Panelo Jr., the newly appointed spokesperson for Sara Duterte, who clarified that Castro played no role in his selection for the position. The exchange highlights ongoing friction between the Vice President’s office and the administration, as officials trade remarks regarding the flow of information and the internal management of Duterte’s team. Castro’s assessment implies that the Vice President’s perceived detachment from government programs is a result of internal oversight within her camp rather than a failure of the administration to communicate its objectives.
