Lawmaker claims survey showed Duterte myth has been shattered

With recent survey results showing 41% of Filipinos agreeing with the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte and 61% supporting the Quad Committee hearings, one thing is crystal clear: the so-called Duterte myth has been shattered, according to Tingog party-list Rep. Jude Acidre.

“Add to that the consistent drop in VP Duterte’s trust ratings, and it’s obvious that the people are fed up. They’re tired of the same old Duterte-style politics — a culture of impunity, bullying tactics, and decisions that prioritize power over public service,” he said in a statement.

He said the Filipino people have had enough of leaders who govern through fear and division, instead of hope and unity.

“The numbers don’t lie. People are demanding accountability and transparency, and they’re looking for leaders who will serve with integrity, compassion, and a clear vision for the future — not leaders who thrive on impunity and entitlement,” he said.

“On the face of these issues, there is no middle ground. Either we stand by the wayside and allow this type of politics to continue, or we take a firm stand to hold the Dutertes accountable. The choice is ours—our silence enables impunity, but our courage can spark change,” he added.

The party-list lawmaker clarified that the matter is not just about one person or one family.     

“It’s about a shift in our collective consciousness as a nation. Filipinos want a new kind of politics —one that’s built on fairness, accountability, and respect for the rule of law,” he noted.

“The surveys prove it: the days of impunity and political theatrics are numbered. It’s time for leaders to listen to the people and embrace a governance style that puts the public’s welfare front and center,” he cited. Rio N. Araja

“Let this be a reminder to all of us: our democracy is alive, and the Filipino people are ready to defend it,” he further stated.
