Castro denies Cayetano’s claim Palace is backing ‘illegitimate Senate’

In a recent spat, Palace Press Officer Claire Castro has firmly denied Senator Alan Peter Cayetano's allegations that the Malacañang Palace is endorsing an illegitimate Senate. Castro emphasized that the executive branch upholds the rule of law and respects the Supreme Court's decisions. This back-and-forth is significant as it underscores the ongoing tensions between different branches of the Philippine government, potentially impacting political stability and public trust in governmental processes. Castro’s rebuttal aims to clarify the administration’s stance and maintain transparency in the face of such accusations.
