Social media users on Twitter were quick to call out the opulent display in what her grandfather once wanted to name the “People’s Palace.”
Some drew parallels between the Duterte teenager and the Marcoses, who were known for ostentatious displays of wealth and grand parties in the Palace.

How very Imeldific. Obviously, Duterte and his children have been influenced heavily by the Marcoses. Their tendencies to flaunt their power and wealth are now slowly being displayed publicly. https://t.co/LEjzKCBDfF

Several others questioned the “tacky” display of privilege, and went sarcastic about making reservations for their own parties in the Palace:
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque dismissed the photo shoot as a non-issue: “Gaya sila ng ordinaryong mamamayan na puwedeng magpa-picture-picture sa Malacañang (They are like ordinary citizens who can do picture-taking in Malacañang).”
