Nearly two years after assumption to the Office of the Vice President, it is time for accountability for VP Sara Duterte and the Duterte family.
Thus said Manila third district Congressman Joel Chua, adding that the Vice President should show some decency by resigning from her DepEd post at the very least.
“Her family unleashed a barrage of insults and attacks directly to the President and yet she does nothing and is still enjoying the perks of being part of the official family. She should draw the line instead of pretending to be a full partner of the President,” said Chua.
VP Duterte, he added, has been woefully silent as the country’s sovereignty and national patrimony in the West Philippine Sea and EEZ have been challenged with ship blockades and aggressive maneuvers against our fisherfolk, Coast Guard, BFAR, and NAMRIA.
The so-called Catch-Up Fridays at DepEd schools have been a waste of time with no real results to show, he further said.
Chua also noted that learning deficits from the pandemic are worsened by the continuing resort to modules and online classes which were ineffective during the pandemic and are still ineffective now.
“She cannot have the best of both worlds by being a fence sitter while her family and their allies challenge the authority and mandate of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. while having little to show for in terms of substantive results at the Department of Education, where she is Secretary,” Chua stressed.
Chua is also a lawyerm an urban poor and sports advocate, Vice-Chair of the House Committee on Metro-Manila Development and member of the Committees on Poverty Alleviation, Transportation and Economic Affairs.
