MANILA, Philippines — Manila Rep. Joel Chua has reminded Vice President Sara Duterte that the people are also waiting for the day when Mary Grace Piattos’ true identity will finally be revealed, after she urged government officials to work as Filipinos have long hoped for progress.

Chua, in a press briefing on Friday, was asked about Duterte’s statements in an ambush interview at Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur last Wednesday, where she asked government officials to refrain from politicking and hiding their alleged ill intentions behind calls for transparency and accountability.

Duterte also said that government officials should focus on addressing peace and order concerns along with economic problems, as the people have been hoping for progress to come. In response, Chua said that there are different issues that people have also waited long enough for Duterte to address.
