Vice President Sara Duterte has admitted that former President Rodrigo Duterte is unaware of the second impeachment complaint filed against her.

Although their conversation during her visit to the former president at the ICC detention facility touched largely on political matters, VP Sara said she deliberately chose not to mention the complaint she is currently facing.

She said it was better for the former president to remain uninformed so he would not worry further.

"Hindi ko binanggit sa kanya ang impeachment at hindi ko binanggit sa kanya ang mga nangyari sa House of Representatives. So, hindi niya alam na merong pangalawang posibleng impeachment na mangyayari. Kasi sa tingin ko, hindi na niya kailangan malaman ang mga ganyan na klase na bad news. Kasi wala din naman yung value sa kanya. Nandoon naman siya sa loob. Ang mangyayari lang dun ay mag-iisip siya. Tapos mag-overthink siya. Siya lang mag-isa. Siya karapat-dapat para sa isang 81-year-old. Dapat ang alam lang niya ay yung mga happy na mga bagay, lalo pati nag-iisip tayo na baka nga dyan siya bawain ng buhay sa loob, dyan siya mamamatay sa loob ng detention. So dapat yung maaalala niya at naiisip niya ay yung mga masasayang bagay, hindi yung mga... Kalukuhan, korupsyon at abuso ng mga congressman at iba pang politiko kasama ng administration," VP Sara said.

(I did not mention the impeachment to him, and I did not mention what happened in the House of Representatives. So he does not know that a second possible impeachment may happen. Because I think he no longer needs to know that kind of bad news — it holds no value for him anyway. He is already inside. All that would happen is he would think about it, overthink it, alone. He deserves better at 81 years old. He should only know about happy things, especially when we consider that he might lose his life in there, that he might die inside detention. So what he should remember and think about are the happy things — not the corruption, abuse, and misconduct of congressmen and other politicians in the administration.)
