Vice President Sara Duterte Faces Attacks Amid Leadership
Vice President Sara Duterte openly criticized her critics, claiming they see her as an obstacle to their personal ambitions. During the 127th Philippine Independence Day celebration in Kuala Lumpur on June 12, she expressed how these detractors view her compassion and dedication as a threat to their interests.
“To them, we are a hindrance, an obstruction to the path of their personal ambition, an enemy they must eliminate to clear their way,” Duterte said. Without naming anyone specifically, she emphasized that her commitment to public service challenges some individuals’ agendas.
Standing Firm Against Dishonest Attacks
Duterte described the attacks as cowardly, dishonest, and arrogant, lacking respect for human decency and the rule of law. “Pero nanatili tayong nakatayo dahil ang ipinaglalaban natin ay tama at totoo,” she added, highlighting her resilience despite the opposition.
She also criticized those in power who misuse authority for selfish purposes. “Gamit ang dahas at hiram na kapangyarihan ay papahirapan nila tayo,” Duterte said, referring to her late father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, as a clear example of such abuse.
Resolute in Her Fight for the Nation
Despite threats and attacks, the Vice President remains determined to continue her mission. “We remain strong, steadfast, and grounded in truth, integrity, and faith that the hand of God will move in ways we cannot comprehend at this point,” she stated.
She expressed confidence in justice prevailing and in their cause. “At naniwala akong maipapanalo natin ang laban na ito dahil laban natin itong lahat. Maipapanalo natin ito sa kabila ng mga banta, pananakot, pagmamalabis, at bangis,” Duterte said, motivating supporters that their collective fight will succeed.
