Vice Pres. Sara Duterte Speaks on Pres. Bongbong Marcos Anew
SARA DUTERTE – The Vice President hit Pres. Bongbong Marcos anew saying he allegedly pretends to be kind and different from his father.
In June 2024, Vice Pres. Duterte surprisingly left the Cabinet of Pres. Marcos. They made a victorious tandem in the 2022 Elections, thus, countless BBM-Sara supporters were shocked and disheartened by the souring of the ties between the two (2) national leaders.
Vice Pres. Duterte claimed that her decision to resign from being the secretary of the Department of Education is due to both personal and work reasons. According to her, she and the President did not really start as friends and only talked about the campaign and work.
Since she resigned from being the DepEd secretary, Vice Pres. Sara Duterte has been throwing tirades against Pres. Bongbong Marcos and his administration. She even recently claimed that the Marcos Cabinet has allegedly no direction.
Recently, Vice Pres. Sara Duterte claimed that Pres. Bongbong Marcos and his administration colluded with the ICC over the arrest of former Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte. She believes that the Marcos admin wants to keep her father away from the country.
The Vice President claimed that the Marcos admin supposedly does not want an opposition. According to her, prior to his arrest, her father was the “foremost staunch critic” of the current administration.
Former Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte has previously called Pres. Bongbong Marcos a “weak leader” who does not impresses him. Recently, Vice Pres. Sara Duterte made an opposing claim. The Vice President expressed her personal belief that the current Chief Executive is not a weak leader.
According to Vice Pres. Duterte, Pres, Marcos allegedly pretends to be kind. She believes that the Chief Executive supposedly wants to show the Filipino people that he is kind but all the orders still come from him.
“Hindi siya weak leader para sa akin. Ang basa ko sa kanya gusto niyang ipakita na mabait siya na Marcos, hindi siya tulad noong kanyang tatay. Hindi siya yung Marcos na diktador, ang kanya ay ‘lowkey’ ang kanyang gustong i-project sa ating lahat,” the Vice President said.
Vice Pres. Sara Duterte, despite being part of the government, also stressed that she allegedly saw no successful project of the current admin. Pres. Marcos is set to deliver his 4th State of the Nation (SONA) address this July 28.
However, Vice Pres. Duterte claimed that she will not attend the annual address of the President for the second time around. Known Duterte-ally Senator Bato dela Rosa also announced that he will skip the 4th SONA of Marcos Jr.
Malacañang, as per a report on Inquirer, recently confirmed that there will be no special arrest for Dela Rosa if the ICC issues an arrest warrant against him. Sen. Bato dela Rosa challenged the Marcos admin to arrest him if they allegedly want to make the same “very huge mistake” again.
