00:01Vice President Sara Duterte pushes back at her self-confessed bagman's claim, she lacked the intellect to get through law
00:07school.
00:07In his 24-page affidavit, Ramil Madriaga recalls a conversation with Ryan Ray Quilala, who supposedly had close ties to
00:14the Dutertes.
00:15Quilala was once an assistant special prosecutor at the Ombudsman and was associate dean of the San Sebastian College Recoletos
00:22College of Law when Sara was still a student.
00:24He shared with me that Sara was not particularly good in school.
00:29Was often struggling with her academics and habitually rude and violent to other students.
00:36Hence, Attorney Ryan used his influence in San Sebastian College of Law to ensure that Sara received passing grades, despite
00:45her poor academic performance.
00:47Duterte rejects these claims.
00:49She says in a statement she prioritized a well-rounded life over academic distinction and did not seek special treatment
00:56in law school.
00:56Duterte also rejects allegations of misconduct during her time in law school, saying she was never the subject of complaints
01:03involving rudeness or violence against other students.
