Press Officer Responds to Senator's Video
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro hit back at a video by Senator Aimee Marcos calling her an evil spirit in the palace.
For the details live from Malacañang, here is Maricel Haliliya with an Express Report.
Masi, what did Usec Castro say about Senator Aimee's video?
Ruth, it takes one to know one.
That was the response of Palace Press Officer Claire Castro to the video released by Senator Aimee Marcos.
In the Senator's video, she started by saying that the ICC, or International Criminal Court, is in danger
especially now that America has spoken out against them.
But she ended the video by saying that there is also an ICC in Malacañang.
And the 'I' supposedly stands for quote-unquote 'impakta' (evil spirit).
And she didn't say what CC meant, but it's also clear that these are the initials of Palace Press Officer Claire Castro.
So Usec Claire Castro told her,
not to worry because she supposedly won't have her crown taken away.
In the segment of the video of Sen. Imee Marcos and the response to her by Usec Castro.
It takes one to know one. …
"They are at the maximum level." … This is the response to the statements of Vice President Sara Duterte because it is clear that her statements are supposedly worthless.
Usec Castro hit back at VP Sara's statement that the 20-peso rice is still not real because it is clearly already being sold at Kadiwa Stores…
... He hit back at VP Sara's statement about former House Speaker Martin Romualdez not being charged, because it is clear that the President is still fulfilling his obligations and continues to work.
Let's listen to that part. ...
It is a baseless and worthless message.
We know that all of this is a lie.
There is the 20-peso per kilo rice that many can now avail of. ...
If this request of hers was implemented by the President."
Ruth, what Undersecretary Claire Castro is referring to is what VP Sara mentioned yesterday as her personal request when she and PBBM ran as a tandem.
And as Jose Castro said, VP Sara was likely referring to her request to use the presidential chopper daily to go home to her family in Davao, but it was said to be too expensive.
Jose Castro also reacted to Senator Alan Cayetano's counter-SONA yesterday, saying that selective justice continues in the administration.
Jose Castro said that if that is Senator Cayetano's belief, it does not mean that the Sandiganbayan favors that belief.
That is the Express Report of Maricel Halili, live from Malacañang.

Para po sa detalye live, mula sa Malacanang, may Express Report, si Maricel Haliliya. Masi ano ang sinabi ni Usec Castro tungkol siya sa video ni Senator Aimee. Ruth, it takes one to know one. Yan ang tuguan ni Palace Press Officer Claire Castro doon nga sa video na inilabas ni Senator Aimee Marcos.
Doon kasi sa nasabing video ng Senadora, sinimulan niya ito sa pagsasabi na nanganganib na yung ICC o yung International Criminal Court dahil lalo na ngayon na nagsalita na ang Amerika laban sa kanila. Pero tinapos niya ang video sa pagsasabi na meron din amang ICC sa Malacanang. Ang ibig sabihin nga raw ng I ay quote-unquote impakta. At yung CC hindi naman niya sinabi kung anong ibig sabihin pero malinaw din naman na initials ito ni Palace Press Officer Claire Castro.
So ang sabi ni Usec Claire Castro sa kanya, huwag siya mag-alala kasi hindi raw siya aagawan ng corona. sa pahagi ng video ni Sen. Aimee Marcos at ang tugon sa kanya ni Yuse Castro. It takes one to know one. ... Sila ay nasa maximum level." ... Ito ang pag-agot sa mga naging pahayag ni Vice President Sara Duterte dahil malinaw na wala raw kakwenta-kwenta ang mga naging pahayag niya.
Binweltahan ni Yuse Castro yung sinabi ni VP Sara na hindi pa rin totoo ang P20 na bigas dahil malinaw na nabibenta na ito sa Kadiwa Stores... ... Binweltahan niya yung sinabi ni VP Sara tungkol sa hindi masasampahan ng kaso itong dating House Speaker Martin Romualdez dahil nakikita naman na ginagawa pa rin ng Pangulo ang kanya mga obligasyon at tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang pagtatrabaho nito. Pakinga natin yung bahagi. ... Walang basihan at walang kakwenta-kwentang mensahe. Alam po natin na lahat ng ito ay kasinungalingan.
Nandiyan ang P20 kada kilo na bigas na marami na nakaka-avail. ... Kung ito mang kanyang hiling ay ipinatupad ng Pangulo." Ruth, ang tinutukoy dyan ni Undersecretary Claire Castro ay yung nabanggit ni VP Sara kahapon na personal daw na hiling niya nung sila ay tumakbong magkatandem ni PBBM. At sabi nga ni Jose Castro, ang tinutukoy malamang dito ni VP Sara ay yung request niya na magamit daw yung presidential chopper araw-araw para makauwi siya doon sa kanyang pamilya sa Davao pero masyado raw malaki ang gastos. Binigyan din ang reaksyon ni Jose Castro yung naging countersona naman ni Sen. Allan Cayetano kahapon na patuloy pa rin daw ang selective justice sa administration.
Sabi dyan ni Jose Castro kung paniniwala yan ni Sen. Cayetano, hindi ibig sabihin na pinapaboran ng Sandigang Bayan ang paniniwalang yan. Yan po ang Express Report ni Maricel Halili live mula sa Malacanang.
