PARA sa mga alkalde ng dalawang pangunahing lungsod sa Iloilo, higit na angkop magbitiw sa Gabinete si Vice President Sara Duterte matapos lumahok sa isang kilos-protestang target patalsikin sa Palasyo si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
Ayon kay Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas, hindi angkop ang presensya ni Duterte sa isang pagtitipon ng mga taong hangad pabagsakin ang Pangulong naging daan para maging bahagi ng Gabinete.
“If a cabinet secretary cannot give full and complete support to the President who appointed him or her, the best and only option available is to resign,” ani Mayor Treñas.
Sa panig naman ni Bacolod City Mayor Albee Benitez, malinaw ang pag-oober-da-bakod ng bise presidente.
“In light of recent events, it is crucial for all cabinet members to uphold the utmost support and unity. Secretary Sara’s presence at events where the leadership is criticized has raised concerns. Adhering to the principle of delicadeza, it may be wise for her to consider stepping down to preserve the integrity and unity of the administration,” pahayag ni Benitez.
Para kina Benitez at Treñas, may katwiran si First Lady Liza Araneta na ‘magtampo’ kay VP Sara.
“We empathize with the First Lady as she expresses her disappointment that the Vice President attends rallies where the President is criticized,” saad sa joint statement na inilabas ng dalawang local chief executives.
“It seems inappropriate for a Vice President, who campaigned under the same party banner as the President, to participate in such events and react with amusement to the attacks,” anila pa.
Dapat rin anila mapagtanto ni Duterte ang mandatong kalakip ng pwesto bilang Kalihim ng Department of Education (DepEd).
“Moreover, as the Secretary of Education, she is a key member of the President’s cabinet. A certain level of solidarity is expected. There are unspoken rules and lines that should not be crossed.”
