MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Sara Duterte said she is not a spoiled brat.
“I am used to answering questions,” Duterte said in Filipino in a Sept. 4 video interview released by the Office of the Vice President on Monday.
“I am used to that, and the public knows that I am not a 'bratinella' or spoiled brat because they have known me from the time that I was still in Davao, from the time that I was still mayor,” she said in mixed Filipino and English.
Duterte drew flak over her behavior when the budget of her office was reviewed by the House of Representatives' Committee on Appropriations on Aug. 27.
She and Sen. Risa Hontiveros also clashed when the Senate held its budget hearing last month.
