YOUNG GUNS GAME SA DRUG TEST, SARA DAPAT MANUMPA

NI ROMEO ALLAN BUYUTAN II

WALANG kagatol-gatol na kinasahan ng ‘Young Guns’ ng Kamara ang hamon ni Vice  President Sara Duterte na sumailalim sa drug test at psychiatric validation, kapalit ng kontra-hamon sa pangalawang pangulo na dumalo at manumpa sa sa pagdinig sa Kamara.

“We are more than willing to take the drug test and psychiatric exam, as the Vice President suggested, but we will not allow her to divert the real issue, which is the allegations of fund misuse and graft and corruption against her. We believe that transparency should go both ways. If she wants to challenge us, she should be ready to face the House Blue Ribbon Committee and testify under oath,” wika ni House Assistant Majority Leader at Zambales Rep. Jay Khonghun. 

“This isn’t just about clearing our names from baseless accusations — it’s about accountability, which every public official must uphold,” dagdag pa ng ranking House official.

Sa panig ni House Assistant Majority Leader at La Union Rep. Paolo Ortega, matapang na sinabi ng kongresista na kung sasalang sila sa nasabing pagsusuri, dapat patas ang laban — “We have nothing to hide. We’re ready to undergo these tests, but in the same breath, the Vice President should demonstrate her accountability by appearing before Congress to answer the allegations of fund misuse in her office. Only then will this challenge truly serve the public interest.” 

“We propose that neutral third-party groups of medical experts administer both the drug and psychiatric exams to ensure the process is objective and transparent,” giit ni Ortega.

Para naman kay House Assistant Majority Leader at Lanao del Sur Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong, dapat itakda sa lalong madaling panahon ang pagsalang ng ‘Young Guns’ sa drug at neuro-psychiatric exam kasabay na rin sa pagharap ni Duterte sa publiko para sagutin ang mga aniya’y kaduda-dudang paggamitng pondo ng Office of the Vice President (OVP) at Department of Education (DepEd).

“But more than that, we challenge the Vice President to step forward and answer the people’s questions about her office’s budget use. The real test of leadership is accountability, and we hope she’s ready for that,” ani Adiong.

Bukod sa “Young Guns,” game din sina House Deputy Majority Leader Rep. Migs Nograles (PBA Partylist), Davao Oriental Rep. Cheeno Almario at House Minority Leader at Ako Bicol Partylist Rep. Jil Bongalon sa hamon ng bise presidente.
