THIRD District of Manila Rep. Joel Chua on Saturday said it’s time for Vice President Sara Duterte and the Duterter family accountable and should show some decency by resigning from post as Secretary of the Education department at the very least.
“Her family unleashed a barrage of insults and attacks directly to the President and yet she does nothing and is still enjoying the perks of being part of the official family,” said Chua in a statement.
Chua said that the vice president should draw the line instead of pretending to be a full partner of the President.
“VP Duterte has been woefully silent as our sovereignty and national patrimony in the West Philippine Sea and EEZ have been challenged with ship blockades and aggressive maneuvers against our fisherfolk, Coast Guard, BFAR, and NAMRIA,” added Chua.
“The so-called Catch-Up Fridays at DepEd schools have been a waste of time with no real results to show. Learning deficits from the pandemic are worsened by the continuing resort to modules and online classes which were ineffective during the pandemic and are still ineffective now,” read the statement.
Chua said VP Duterte cannot have the best of both worlds by being a fence sitter while her family and their allies challenge the authority and mandate of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr while having little to show for in terms of substantive results at the Department of Education, where she is secretary.
