MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Sara Duterte has flown to Kuwait to visit the Filipino community there to discuss concerns and issues that impact them, the Office of the Vice President confirmed on Saturday.
In a statement, the OVP said that as part of her mandate to represent and advocate for the welfare of all Filipinos, including those overseas, it was essential that she remained actively engaged with the Filipino migrant communities wherever they were.
“She will then proceed to continue working on the release of our former head of state Rodrigo Duterte who was forcibly taken from Philippine soil,” the OVP said.
The OVP said that these engagements were conducted in full compliance with existing government rules and regulations and that no public funds were used for all of her travels overseas.
It also said that the OVP, alongside its 10 satellite offices, are ready to serve and assist Filipinos despite capacity and budget limitations. RED MENDOZA
