MANILA — Senate President Chiz Escudero believes that the resignation of Vice President Sara Duterte from the cabinet of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. was inevitable.
Escudero said he respects the decision made by Duterte and wishes her the best.
“I believe her resignation was inevitable from the time her father, FPRRD, and her siblings and allies started attacking PBBM and members of the First Family,” the senator said.
He said it cannot be denied since VP Duterte remained silent and did not express support for some government policy issues including the West Philippine Sea, Bagong Pilipinas Hymn, the case of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, and the attempted arrest.
“As the Vice President, she has every right to have policy differences with the President and I believe that people love and respect her precisely for that… for having and fighting for what she believes in and for her own beliefs,” he added.
