During the aforementioned meeting, they discussed the current “state of peace and order” in the country and how to keep the Filipino people safe during the president’s absence.
The vice president also ordered the security services to show no mercy to terrorists and criminals.
Meanwhile, a broadcaster claiming to be a relative of Senator Lito Rapide criticized the vice president, calling her “epal.”

“Ano ba eto, kala ko Department of ID*** este, Education si Sikwatary ito, eh bakit siya nakikipagpulong sa National Defense at AFP? Architectural Supervisor? Bakit can banta ba, wala naman ah!” he added.
