MANILA — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is unaffected by other peoples’ “personal angst, personal interests and personal ambitions,” Malacañang said on Monday, following the creation of the Duterte-backed Reform Alliance for Good Governance and Accountability (RAGE) Coalition.The RAGE Coalition — which includes Partido Demokratiko Pilipino, Partido Reporma, and Reform PH — was launched over the weekend with Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte, Senators Christopher &quot;Bong&quot; Go and Robin Padilla, as well as Rep. Paolo Marcoleta, present at the launch.“Hindi maaapektuhan ang Pangulo sa mga personal na galit, personal na interes, personal na ambisyon,” Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro told Palace reporters.“Ang nakakabahala lamang dito, ay ang personal na galit, personal na interes at personal na ambisyon ay gamitin ang taumbayan na galitin ang puso ng bawat isa sa atin sa pamamagitan ng paglalahad ng kanilang fake news. Iyan ang nakakabahala,” she said.Castro also defended the President from Mayor Duterte’s statement that the flood control investigations opened last year led the to administration’s “self-destruction.”“Parang kakaiba po yata ang kaniyang pananaw. Kaya ba hindi nagpaimbestiga ng malaliman ang nakaraang administrasyon dahil magiging self-destruction sa dating Pangulong Duterte?” the Palace official said.“Hindi po ganiyan ang pananaw ng Pangulo. Ang Pangulo po, kahit maapektuhan at matamaan ang kaniyang administrasyon, kahit ang kaalyado man niya at kaibigan niya or kamag-anak niya ay maapektuhan, ipagpapatuloy po ang pag-iimbestiga sa flood control projects,” she said.“Bakit? Dahil ito po ay pondo ng bayan na dapat i-report sa bayan. Kung mayroong dapat managot, iyan ang nais ng Pangulo, dapat na managot; hindi dapat na tinatakpan, hindi kinakailangan na magkaroon ng cover-up.”
