MANILA, Philippines – Sinabi ni Vice President Sara Duterte nitong Linggo, Hunyo 22, na wala siyang galit o sama ng loob kay Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
Aniya, namomroblema lamang siya sa performance o paraan ng pamumuno nito.
“I have no ill feelings with him with regard to the political persecution that I am receiving from the administration because that is part of the life of a politician. I have problems with his performance as president and I have problems with the violations of our fundamental law, our constitution, particularly with the rendition of former President [Rodrigo] Duterte. That was really an affront to Philippine sovereignty,” sinabi ni Duterte sa panayam kasabay ng support rally sa Melbourne, Australia.
Iginigiit ng kampo ng mga Duterte na ang dating Pangulong si Rodrigo Duterte na ama ng bise presidente, ay kinidnap nang siya ay arestuhin sa bisa ng arrest warrant mula sa International Criminal Court at dalhin sa The Hague para sa umano’y crimes against humanity charges.
“He has not followed through with any of his campaign promises, and that is an example of the conflict with regard to our president. And, well, ‘budol’ in English is ‘scam,’ no? We’re not surprised. He has the hallmark of a scammer,” dagdag ni Duterte.
Kinumpirma rin ng Bise Presidente ang pahayag ng kanyang opisina na wala siyang intensyong dumalo sa State of the Nation Address ni Marcos sa susunod na buwan sa pagsasabing ang Pangulo ay hindi magbibigay ng kahit anong “substantial about [the] country.”
“It would be best to spend that time with the Filipino community, discussing what we can do for the country and to improve the country,” aniya.
Noong nakaraang taon, hindi rin dumalo si Duterte sa SONA ni Marcos at sinabing itinatalaga niya ang kanyang sarili bilang “designated survivor.” RNT/JGC
