ASSISTANT House Majority Leader and Ako Bicol Partylist Rep. Raul Angelo Bongalon said Vice President Sara Duterte should resign for not showing interest in defending her office's budget for 2025. Duterte and officials of the Office of the Vice President were absent during the House plenary hearing on Tuesday.'If she is not interested in her duties and functions as the vice president, we can ask the Vice President to step down,' Bongalon said in a press briefing.
Reports said Duterte opted to spend the day in Calaguas Island in Camarines Norte.'In other words, it meant that she has no intention of attending our plenary hearings to sponsor and defend the OVP's budget. If she has that intention, she should have been in Manila on Sunday, or she should have communicated to the office of Rep. Adiong to brief him and prepare questions,' Bongalon added.
