De Lima said she was unaware of Duterte’s action at the time because she was busy responding to questions from lawmakers.

She added that she did not directly see the punch gesture but was informed through a message and later shown a video of the incident.

Upon viewing the footage, De Lima expressed deep hurt, describing Duterte’s behavior as unbecoming and undignified for a former president.
