VP Sara Duterte bares "disagreements" with PBBM's governance

Vice President Sara Duterte stated she harbors no ill feelings toward President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. but expressed disagreements with his governance, particularly concerning the handling of her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte's, case before the International Criminal Court (ICC).

She described the political persecution she faces as a normal part of politics and not an act of revenge from Marcos.

Duterte's main concerns involve what she described as constitutional violations and problematic aspects of Marcos' governance, citing the arrest of her father under orders of the ICC.

She alleged that Marcos did not keep his campaign promises, leading to problems for the people.

During a pro-Duterte rally in Melbourne, Australia, the Vice President admitted she "did not bet properly" with Marcos as her running mate, noting the public likely has doubts about the Marcoses.

Duterte also criticized the administration's lack of clear leadership and direction, which she believes leaves the country unprepared to face war, adapt to change, or absorb global shocks.

She drew a distinction between President Marcos and his sister, Senator Imee Marcos, whom she considers a friend.

The Vice President called for more assertive public pressure to steer the government in the right direction.
