Karen Davila, a well-known broadcast journalist in the Philippines, has recently expressed her dismay over Senator Sherwin Gatchalian's earlier statement about the country's debt burden.

On X (formerly Twitter), Karen reposted a quote card from @ABSCBNNews, which featured Gatchalian's statement about the country's debt: "Bawat Pinoy, may utang na P142,000 dahil sa PH debt -Gatchalian." The post also noted that as the Committee of Finance Chair, the senator highlighted how each Filipino effectively owes P142,000 because of the nation's current debt level.

Imbis na mapunta sa edukasyon, pagkain, libreng pagpapagamot sa ospital… ayun, ang budget nasa bulsa ng maraming pulitiko. Ninanakawan na tayo, tayo pa ang nagbabayad ng ninakaw nila," she wrote on her page.
