[Vantage Point] VP Sara’s wicked thought process

Consider how former vice presidents bided their time – and rewarded for their patience

This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.With her father no longer the country’s president, Vice President and former education secretary Sara Duterte has lost all political clout. Unfortunately, the reality of her situation has not sunk in yet.Now, the National Bureau of Investigation wants to ask her questions, particularly about the identification of the hired killer and the manner by which the assassination is to be carried out.

Just two years after their Uniteam’s successful campaign in the 2022 elections, the Marcos-Duterte alliance has unraveled. After a slow start, VP Sara shifted gears and went full throttle, calling her erstwhile ally addicted to cocaine, and is weak, incompetent, and corrupt, echoing her father’s rants against Marcos Jr.

That mollified her for a while. After all, DepEd has more than a million employees, most of them elementary and high school teachers distributed throughout the country, from the cities to the farthest outposts of civilization, who are usually tapped to man the voting precincts during elections — something that will come in handy when it is her turn to run for president.Moreover, DepEd had a huge budget.

The House committee on good government and public ccountability, chaired by Congressman Joel Chua of Manila, has not issued its findings and recommendations yet, but the fact that it is investigating the matter has led Ms. Duterte to believe that the President, his wife, and his cousin are behind the investigation.

But Ms. Duterte acts the way she always does, failing to adopt to her changed reality. The fact eludes her that her father is no longer president, and Congress is not the Davao City Council that she could run roughshod over.
