In a spectacular display of modern fiscal wisdom, netizens have rallied around the innovative idea of giving the Office of the Vice President (OVP) a zero budget after Sara Duterte’s masterclass in dodging questions at the House of Representatives.
Critics, missing the true art of politics, have labeled her as arrogant, self-entitled, and disrespectful—clearly mistaking these as flaws rather than the essential qualities of high office. Representative France Castro even likened her to a squid, but why stop there? A squid only releases ink when under pressure, while our Vice President managed to do so while basking in a House inquiry.
The Adobo Chronicles, ever the beacon of financial prudence, advocates for a more generous P1 budget. After all, why waste the government’s precious ink on an office that could run just as well with a single coin? Austerity, thy name is genius!
In a display of masterful evasion, Vice President Sara Duterte took to the Senate floor, not to answer questions about her P10 million book budget, but to give a history lesson no one asked for.
When Senator Risa Hontiveros inquired about the contents of this mysterious literary masterpiece, Duterte deftly dodged, instead digging up old political grudges. It’s as if she thought the budget hearing was a reunion of Pugad Baboy—more drama than actual discussion. To top it off, she called Hontiveros disrespectful for daring to expect an answer.
Ah, the irony! Apparently, the real disrespect is not in sidestepping a co-equal branch of government but in being asked a question in the first place. Perhaps Duterte’s book is indeed a thriller—it seems to be full of twists, turns, and missing pages. If only it had an author who knew what the plot was supposed to be.
