(UPDATE) PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday rejected calls to replace Vice President Sara Duterte as education secretary, saying his working relationship with her would not be affected by his wife's anger at her.

Speaking to reporters in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, the President expressed confidence that Duterte would understand how the first lady Liza Araneta-Marcos feels because she is also a wife.
