Why Sara Duterte Has a “Cut” on Her Neck?
SARA DUTERTE – A short video of the Vice President showing a cut on her neck has generated significant attention.
News 5 reported that the video originated from former NTF-ELCAC spokesperson Lorraine Badoy-Partosa. In the footage, a woman asks VP Sara about the wound on her neck while she appears to be reading a Bible. VP Sara responds, “Sinubukan nila akong i-gurgur pero hindi sila nagtagumpay,” without specifying who “they” are.
Recently, VP Sara resigned from her position as the Secretary of the Department of Education (DepEd). Despite stepping down from this cabinet role, she assured that she would continue to perform her duties as the Vice President of the Philippines. This development has added to the ongoing public interest and concern regarding her safety and political standing.

She currently serves as the Vice President of the Philippines, having assumed office on June 30, 2022, under President Bongbong Marcos.

She also served as the Mayor of Davao City for multiple terms: first from 2010 to 2013 and again from 2016 to 2022.
Duterte is the daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte and Elizabeth Zimmerman. She studied law at San Beda College and San Sebastian College – Recoletos, eventually passing the Philippine Bar Examination in 2005.
