“IT is like comparing apples and oranges.” Ganito inilarawan ni former Surigao del Norte Representative at impeachment spokesperson Ace Barbers ang pagkukumpara kay Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. kay Vice President Sara Duterte hinggil sa responsibilidad at gawain sa gobyerno. “President BBM has a whole lot of different responsibilities compared to the VP. It is like comparing apples and oranges. The President is the only one in charge of making day to day decisions, both popular and unpopular. His shoulders alone carry the entire responsibility of running the government,” pahayag ni Barbers. “In contrast, Vice-President Sara Duterte discharges no official duties that carry responsibilities nor make or break the government. So, you see, they are of different characters,” dagdag niya. Giit ni Barbers, ang paglubog o pag-angat ng bansa ay nakadepende sa mga desisyon ni Pangulong Marcos, na bagama’t may gabinete at iba pang head of agencies para bigyan siya ng payo. — sa huli ay pangulo pa rin ang magpapasya. “It is unfair for the working President to be compared not only to the Vice-President but to any other government official for that matter. There is no connection nor fair comparison. The work of the President is not to gain popularity but to make sure that the country and its people survive and thrive in the best political and economic environment possible under any and all circumstances,” dugtong ng dating mambabatas. Panawagan ni Barbers sa publiko at maging sa mga nagsasagawa ng surveys, huwag magbigay nang paghahambing sa dalawang pinakamataas na opisyal ng bansa, na maaaring lalong magpaalab sa hindi pagkakasundo ng magkabilang panig. “Instead of promoting discord, we must find ways to work together towards progress, peace and order and being responsible citizens.” Hirit ni Barbers.
