MANILA, Feb. 1 -- Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Z. Duterte on Thursday said the latest accusations linking her to the alleged Davao Death Squad (DDS) and extrajudicial killings in Davao City are "scripted."

Retired police officer Arturo Lascanas, a confessed member of the alleged DDS, claimed the Vice President and her father, former president Rodrigo R. Duterte, were masterminds of the killings and she was the one who came up with "Oplan Tokhang" which was the anti-drug campaign of the Philippine National Police in the previous administration.

"Bago ang script na ito (This script is new)," Duterte said in a video noting that she was never linked to the alleged DDS even when she was still serving as mayor of Davao City.
