SARA DUTERTE – The Vice President threw an accusation against the Marcos Jr. administration amid the flood control probe in the Philippines now.
Several members of the Duterte family are currently in The Hague, Netherlands amid the heated issue of anomalous flood control projects in the Philippines. Recently, the Duterte family even had what was seemingly like a family reunion inside the detention facility of the ICC (International Criminal Court) after all four (4) Duterte siblings were allowed to visit former Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
Previously, following their visit to the detained former President who is faced with an accusation of crimes against humanity for the war vs. drugs of his administration, Vice Pres. Sara Duterte and acting Davao Mayor Baste Duterte was asked about the issue over the anomalous flood control projects in the country now.
Vice Pres. Sara Duterte refused to give a free advice in solving the flood control projects issue in the country now. According to her, she will just watch their “circus” and “zarzuela”. The Vice President just suggested that the Marcos admin should follow what she does which she travels around the world to meet with the Filipino communities abroad.
Despite the criticisms on her frequent overseas trips, Duterte claimed that the Filipinos abroad are the “best consultants” about what could be implemented in the country. As for acting Davao Mayor Baste Duterte, he claimed that the flood control issue is allegedly used as a “publicity stunt”.
The Senate launched its own investigation on the anomalous flood control deals funded by the government. The probe is led by the Blue Ribbon Committee chaired by Senator Rodante Marcoleta. The President also recently confirmed that his office is already drafting the executive order for the creation of an independent commission that would investigate the anomalous infrastructure projects funded by the government.
Recently, amid the issue of anomalous flood control projects funded by the government, Vice Pres. Sara Duterte threw a new accusation against the Marcos Jr. admin. Based on a report on GMA News, while still in The Hague, Netherlands, the Vice President claimed that the administration may allegedly be up to something.
“Magdududa ka kung bakit bigla ngayon ay merong silang palabas ng malaking investigation ng flood control projects. Ibig sabihin meron na naman siguro silang niluluto na behind the scenes na, syempre, hindi natin nakikita dahil lahat tayo nakatutok doon sa flood control,” Duterte said.
Vice Pres. Sara Duterte also claimed that if Pres. Bongbong Marcos is serious about the issue, he could have identified within the day the people who are corrupt. Based on the report, the Vice President likened the issue to watching a zarzuela, a musical comedy.
“Kung seryoso lang talaga ang Presidente, tapos na ‘yan isang araw lang, matuturo niya lahat ng may kagagawan ng corruption sa budget. Pero, well, as you can see, para ngang nanonood tayo ng zarzuela,” the Vice President said.
