Manila, Philippines – Otso Diretso senatorial bet Samira Gutoc has slammed her critics who mocked her for wearing a life vest wrong, saying it is better that way than having wrong principles.

“Mali man po ang pagkakasuot ko ng life vest, hindi naman mali ang aking paninindigan.  Ang mahirap ay tama ang iyong suot, pero ang kaluluwa, puso’t isipan ay naibenta na sa China,” she said in a statement today, Friday.



Recently, the opposition candidate was criticized for an alleged “publicity stunt” after she and other Otso Diretso bets stood beside a jet ski while holding a placard on Monday challenging President Rodrigo Duterte to fulfill his 2016 campaign promise of riding a jet ski and fighting for the country’s sovereignty against China. 

A photo of Gutoc was mocked for wearing her life vest reversely and it was left unlocked. This also reportedly prompted former presidential aide Bong Go to offer jet ski lessons.

In her response, Gutoc said, “Call ako dyan, and I truly appreciate his offer.  Pero gawin ang tutorial sa Scarborough mismo or sa Kalayaan Islands […] Kahit alalay nya lang ako, sya ang bida, payag ako. “

“At bilang malapit sa Presidente, he can ask the Coast Guard for permission to sail there, which was denied us last April 9,” she added
