“Father and daughter have a limited vocabulary: kill, kill, kill.”
I don’t know what the Dutertes are up to, but daughter Sara’s has said that she has already commissioned somebody to assassinate President Marcos Jr., together with First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos, and Speaker Martin Romualdez in the event she herself gets killed.
I am surprised at Sara Duterte. She is a lawyer but she doesn’t seem to realize that threatening the President with assassination is tantamount to an assault on national security, and considered a crime. Now, Santa Banana, the National Bureau of Investigation has summoned her for investigation for her grave threats!
My gulay, now the former President Duterte is calling on the military and the police to intervene to amend what he calls a “fractured administration” and calling BBM a “drug addict.” The father, also a lawyer, does not seem to understand that he committed a crime, not only bordering on sedition, but almost a “coup” by the armed forces.
The Dutertes, father and daughter, seem to have a limited vocabulary: “kill, kill, kill”. The Duterte father had wanted, when he was President, to have everybody involved in illegal drugs killed. The daughter, the Vice President, now is threatening to assassinate the Marcoses and Speaker of the House. Truly, like father, like daughter. And Santa Banana, what we are now seeing on the part of the Dutertes is no joke.
The case of the daughter, as the Vice President, threatening to have BBM assassinated, should be taken seriously. Very seriously. And the Vice President, who committed a crime, should be charged criminally. Nobody is above the law, Santa Banana!
The unfolding drama, Sara claimed, is all due to the accusation that she misused and abused the budget of the Office of Vice President and the Department of Education. And if indeed she misused and abused her intelligence and confidential funds, she should answer and be held accountable. Sara’s critics in Congress now want her to be impeached. And her critics have enough evidence and proof for her impeachment. Truly she should be impeached.
In the case of her father, the former President, if the Department of Justice finds him guilty of sedition, he should be charged and made accountable. Calling on the military to intervene in what he called a “fractured administration” is a very dangerous comment and if indeed Duterte committed the crime of sedition, he should be jailed. My gulay, nobody can just go around calling for the military to intervene and take over the government since this would entail a possible coup.
A good question arises: Why is the Vice President doing what she is doing knowing full well that threatening the life of the President isn’t only a grave threat but a threat to national security? It is for this reason that the move of the NBI to investigate is timely.
Another question crops up: Is Sara doing what she is doing just because her critics in Congress have already cut her budget for 2025? Or is it for something else? Like for instance, is it connected to her ambition to run for President in 2028? Does she want to look like a victim of the Marcos Administration?
In the case of the Duterte father, what is he really up to? What is his game plan in having the Armed Forces intervene in what he calls a “fractured government”? Or, is he just making all the noises to show the people that he can still be a threat if indeed something can happen, knowing that there are many discontented people in the AFP who are liable to do something crazy like a coup?
In any case, the fact that the NBI is already making the Vice-President explain her grave threat against President Marcos. Santa Banana, nobody must be able to get away with threatening the President.
As for reconciliation between the Marcoses and the Dutertes, as Sara herself said, the relationship is already at the point of no return — even as the President said “never say never.”
