WATCH: Vice President Sara Duterte on Wednesday night, Aug. 21, denied allegations that her children's book, “Isang Kaibigan,” was plagiarized.


In a statement, the official stressed there was no need for her to copy from another as her book was a way to encourage Filipino kids to read again.


“Napakadaling sumulat ng maikling kwento batay sa sariling karanasan, hindi na kailangang mangopya pa (It’s easy to write a short story based on one’s experience, there’s no need to copy),” she said.
