Tensions continue in Malacañang and on social media after a rare incident in which Vice President Sara Duterte was allegedly hurt and annoyed by a series of insults and comments by Attorney Claire Castro , the Palace Undersecretary and Press Officer. According to a viral report, the incident culminated in threats of possible disbarment against Castro after she compared the VP’s face to the iconic horror movie character “Chucky.”

“Hey guys! How are you? Here we go again, back to another explosive news! And the drama now, it’s a world war between VP Sara and Attorney Claire Castro. And it looks like VP is really annoyed!” greeted a vlogger on his YouTube channel before explaining the viral incident.
According to the video and reports, Castro called VP Sara a “Chucky” doll , the famous horror movie doll known for being cruel and scary. Although the comparison was meant to be humorous, it quickly went viral and sparked a backlash on social media. Many netizens questioned whether Castro really deserved to be disbarred for this comment .
In an interview, Castro explained his side:
“ Disbarment should be based on serious ethical or criminal violations, and not on personal opinion or commentary. Comparisons to a character in a movie are not enough to revoke a lawyer’s license. ”
Castro, known for his bold public debate, is not just a joke. He uses his platform as Undersecretary and Press Officer to defend the administration and provide real talk . In his statements, his words are clearly true and well-founded , although humorous and with a touch of dramatic delivery.
“ If you just get disbarred because of a joke or comment, well, that’s so shallow! It’s just making you laugh even more,” the vlogger added while showing netizens’ comments. Many shared the opinion that the disbarment threat was excessive and unfair , especially since the comparison to Chucky was just a metaphor and not a personal insult or criminal action.
The viral incident has revealed a ‘world war’ of words between two prominent personalities in Malacañang. According to some observers, the issue’s emergence is merely an indication that VP Sara is annoyed by Castro’s direct comments, which are not just a joke but part of her responsibility as the Palace’s frontliner in defending the administration.
Some netizens said the comparison was funny, while others said the situation should not be exaggerated. “ Is it true that it’s just to disbar? Oh my god, it’s really so shallow, you guys,” said one online commenter.

According to the report, it is still unclear whether there is an official process for disbarment , and all steps can go through the Supreme Court. Upon review, there are more grounds for disbarment if there is a serious violation of the law or ethics , such as threatening or admitting to a crime, and not just because of a satirical or metaphorical commentary.
” If you’re just going to get sued because you called a VP Chucky, well, well, well… the case is deeply flawed. This is simply a slap in the face to an iconic character, not a personal crime or ethical violation, ” a legal analyst explained on social media.
The incident highlighted the power of social media and viral content in politics , where even a simple comment can become a breaking news story and go viral among the public. The tension between VP Sara and Attorney Castro also demonstrated the interplay of politics, personality, and media influence , and how every word and comparison becomes part of the discourse.
Overall, the viral incident serves as a reminder that public comments, especially by officials , can provoke strong reactions, but any legal or disciplinary action must be based on facts and proportionate . The use of metaphor and satire, such as the Chucky comparison, is a common part of political discourse, and should not immediately lead to disbarment.

Meanwhile, many are still waiting for VP Sara’s statement and the Supreme Court’s official position on whether legal action will be taken against Castro. To this day, the issue remains viral and trending on social media , and the public continues to discuss the dynamics of their “world war” in words.
Ultimately, the incident involving VP Sara and Attorney Claire Castro demonstrates the dramatic interplay of politics, social media, and professionalism in this country. It also serves as a lesson to the public : words, especially from influential figures, have an impact on people’s opinions and can go viral in an instant.
