SINABI ng Office of the Vice President (OVP) na hindi lang basta “spare tire” ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr., si Vice President Sara Duterte.Tugon ito ni OVP spokesperson Ruth Castelo nang tanungin hinggil sa pagtukoy kay VP Sara bilang isang “spare tire” kay Pangulong Marcos.
“All of us here think that the vice president—not necessarily VP Sara Duterte—all VPs are looked at as spare tires. But if you really think about it, the Vice President should be as prepared as the President,” ayon kay Castelo.
“Should anything happen to him, who assumes the responsibility? It’s the Vice President,” aniya pa rin.
Binigyang diin ni Castelo na ang mandato ni VP Sara ay kahalintulad ng sa Pangulo, gaya ng nakasaad sa 1987 Constitution.
Dahil dito, sinabi ni Castelo na ang pigilan ang suporta o pagpopondo sa Office of the Vice President (OVP) ay magiging malaking kasiraan ng serbisyo para sa bansa.
“Keeping her out of the loop or not being able to provide funds for her projects and programs is a great disservice to the country because if anything happens, the VP is forced to assume the position of the President,” ani Castelo.
“…and the services now being delivered by the VP through her office [are] a way of preparing herself just in case anything happens from now until 2028,” aniya pa rin. ( Daris Jose)
