The apparent increase of anti-Duterte vilification campaign waged by the gangs of varied political persuasions and a band of black propagandists and mercantile analysts is expected early and will fizzle out quietly before mid-year this year.Already each presidential and vice presidential wannabees had surfaced packaging themselves as the saviors of our benighted country. Sen. Risa Hontiveros early on had the endorsement of putschist Antonio Trillanes who peddles her as one who can prevent another Duterte from becoming president. He went all the way in declaring Davao City as the most dangerous city in the Philippines in contravention to international data crowd sourcing platforms declaring the city as the most peaceful, livable and child-friendly in the Philippines and the second in Southeast Asia. Recently travel index platforms declared Davao City as the tourist destination in the country.
Amidst the magma of corruption beseting the country, VP Sara Duterte is remarkably the people’s favorite choice for President based on the trust and approval survey ratings results of Social Weather Station, Pulse Asia and Publicus Asia. The people behind the unprecedented corruption that happened in the Philippines which newly installed DPWH Sec. Vince Dizon as “Mga Hayop” meaning beast, are still ensconced in their posts.
They harped on the paltry sum of confidential and intelligence funds of Duterte as Education Secretary then and for the Office of the Vice President which less than a billion pesos but are blind, deaf and dumbed on the CIF funds of Marcos which that ran to billions. In the 2026 budget, the beasts connived and awarded the OVP Zero CIF as against a whooping ₱4.5-billion for the Office of the President.
They, including a drug addict rehabbed cleric and his ‘civil society of four’ banded together to denounce VP Sara on her CIF. The Commission on Audit on the other hand has consistently issued unmodified opinion rating on OVP financial statements which means it is transparent and honest.
VP Sara Duterte has weathered all the denigration from members of Congress, their coterie of black propagandists and a bunch of new-fangled “analysts”. Their tirades only made Sara’s image as a leader who can take them all. The survey results argue eloquently for the Vice President as the discourse differentiates Sara from the horde of the corrupt that made the nation reel from one scandal to the other with no signs whatsoever that they will bleed the nations coffers dry.
In the meantime the value of the Philippine ₱eso plummets to ₱59.44 against $1 US dollar.
