IMBES na makatulong, inilagay ni Vice President Sara Duterte ang sarili sa isang alanganing sitwasyon matapos ang maagang deklarasyon sa planong pagtakbo bilang Pangulo sa 2028 presidential derby.
Ayon kay Rep. Benny Abante na tumatayong chairman ng House Committee on Human Rights, mas magiging mabusisi at mahigpit na babantayan ng sambayanan ang kinakaharap na impeachment complaints na naihain sa Kamara.
Pag-amin ni Abante, mistulang palaisipan ang motibo ni Duterte sa “timing” sa pag buyayang ng plano sa pulitika.
“Napakaaga ng kanyang announcement, there are still two years before the 2028 elections,” wika ni Abante.
“Her announcement would open Pandora’s box for everything. That will expose her publicly,” dugtong ng kinatawan ng Maynila sa Kamara.
Ayon sa Manila solon, ang kaganapan sa panig ni Duterte ay naglagay din sa kanya sa sitwasyon kinakailangan na niyang magpaliwanag sa taumbayan hinggil sa kaliwa’t-kanang akusasyon, kabilang ang klase ng pamumuno at direksyon ng bansa sakaling siya ay mahalal.
“And now it is up to her to be able to explain to the Filipino people,” aniya pa.
Samantala, kinastigo naman ni Abante ang matigas na pahayag ng bise presidente na ang ginawang pagkalas sa administrasyon ay may kinalaman umano sa korapsyon sa pamahalaan.
“This was not a principled resignation, if the Vice President truly believed the administration was corrupt or incapable of addressing the people’s problems, she had every opportunity to say so while she was inside the Cabinet. She did not,” punto ng kongresista.
“For nearly two years, she was a Cabinet member as Secretary of Education. She was part of the UniTeam mandate. She participated in policy discussions and budget processes,” paalala pa ng solon.
“If there were systemic corruption or governance failures of the magnitude now being suggested, why was there no sustained public dissent? No reform blueprint? No formal policy objections?”
“We respect the Office of the Vice President. But we will not allow the narrative to be reversed. The facts show this was not about corruption or inefficiency. It was about political repositioning.” (ROMER R. BUTUYAN)
