It has come to the attention of the Office of the Vice President (OVP) that an organization named Viral International Publishing is using the photo of Vice President Sara Z. Duterte in some of its promotional materials for a dinner and awards ceremony called the Viral Awards, on July 27, 2025 at Okada Manila, with a ticket fee of Php4,999.00.

We inform the public that the OVP has not received any communication that would warrant the participation of Vice President Sara Z. Duterte in the event hosted by the above-mentioned organization. Therefore, any publication suggesting that she is among the awardees or that she will attend is inaccurate.

We urge the public to exercise caution when it comes to such publications or announcements.

Thank you.
