Veteran journalist Ramon Tulfo addressed the netizens after he received criticism for his claims that Vice President Sara Duterte and her chief of staff, Atty. Zuleika Lopez had a relationship.
In his Facebook post, Ramon insisted that the alleged romantic relationship between Duterte and Zuleika was relevant because they were both public officials.
He also clarified that he was not against the LGBTQIA+ community.
“Kung wala sanang involved na pera ng taumbayan at di sila public officials ay wala tayong pakialam sa relasyon nina Vice President Sara at Zuleika Lopez na kanyang chief of staff sa Office of the Vice President (OVP). Kung hindi sana sila public officials ay walang pakialam ang taumbayan kung nagpupompiyangan sila,” said Tulfo.
“We live in a permissive world where a man marries another man and a woman makes love to another woman. Pero ang pinag-uusapan natin ay kung saan o paano ginastos ang confidential and intelligence fund (CIF) na inihabilin kay Sara ng taumbayan bilang vice president at noon ay education secretary,” he added.
