WATCH: Tense exchange between Vice President Sara Duterte and Sen. Risa Hontiveros at a Senate hearing on the OVP's 2025 budget | Eimor Santos

Hontiveros asked about the ₱10-million funding for the distribution of Duterte's "Isang Kaibigan" book. The VP accused her of "politicizing" the issue | @eimorpsantos

@eimorpsantos She claims to be a lawyer, but she's having a hard time explaining why she needs the budget she's asking for. 😒

@eimorpsantos OMG!!!!!!! Ang BOBO! The stupidity of Sara Duterte. Ngayon lang ako natrigger ng ganito. I apologize for the language, as much as possible I don’t want to use these terms pero grabe unacceptable for a VP of the Philippines to be this stupid. Ang tanga ng mga sagot.

@eimorpsantos "Budget hearing po ito, hindi lahat about you" The best phrase to end this. Sara Duterte needs help. I believe she's not in her right mind. How could she tell those back stories and push her narrative that she was being politicized in a budget hearing? Ang bobo lang.

@eimorpsantos ??? 1. Bakit hindi masabi kung ano yung content ng book? Fiction ba? Vague yung "about friendship" 2. Ano kinalaman ng pagpunta ni Sen Risa sa Davao noong tatakbo sya lasy 2016 sa pag-explain doon sa Php10M na hinihingi para sa book?

@eimorpsantos Anong klaseng gobyerno meron tayo? Biruin mo pwede palang pakiusapan ang mga congresista na “ibigay ang ilang barangay” as if the people are their property… FYI sa inyong mga politiko, inihalal kayo para magsilbi sa bayan and not the other way around! Tangina nyo!

@eimorpsantos Ang Galing mo Senator Risa. Pinaamin mo si IndayLustay na yong librong pingawa nya ay punong puno ng pangalan nya at nahalatang nilustay lang pera ng bayan. Inamin din na binibili lang ang boto sa Davao. Bobo talaga si Inday. Hahahaha. Good Jib Sen Risa.

@eimorpsantos Mayabang itong si Inday .. Anong feel nya sa sarili nya .. Reyna sya ng Pilipinas!? She's a bitch! Obviously ... Really really .. Inday is NOT fit to lead !!!

@eimorpsantos I like the way senator poe shaded lustay by asking any of the usec to explain on her behalf. Walang substance kasi ang sagot ni madumb.

@eimorpsantos Pota, politicizing e siya yung namumulitika. Napaamin pa na puro pangalan niya ang nasa book.
