By Karen LemaMANILA (Reuters) - Former Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte's son urged President Ferdinand Marcos Jr to resign on Sunday, calling him lazy and uncompassionate in a deepening rift between the two politically powerful families.
Marcos teamed up with Duterte's daughter Sara to make her vice-president in their 2022 election win.
Sebastian Duterte, who is mayor of Philippines' third most populous city Davao, said there had been a resurgence in crime after his father's hardline campaign had been relaxed.
"He is putting politics first, their self-preservation ... rather than focusing on the job," Sebastian Duterte said.
There was no immediate comment from Marcos' office or from the vice president on Sebastian Duterte's remarks.
