Is it time for Vice President Sara Duterte to step down? Let’s consider the evidence. 

First, there’s the promise of unity—a lovely buzzword that turned out to be as fleeting as a campaign jingle. Running alongside Bongbong Marcos, Sara promised to heal the nation’s wounds, but it seems the wound has only festered, with her brand of unity resembling a distant mirage rather than a political reality.

Next, there’s her curious affection for a foreign nation in matters of Philippine sovereignty. One would think that the daughter of a former president would know the importance of guarding our nation’s independence. But perhaps, in Sara’s view, being a patriot is overrated.

Then there’s the refusal to defend her office’s budget. Is this a calculated move to teach her political enemies a lesson? Or perhaps it’s just a demonstration of how the nation’s finances should really be handled—by not handling them at all.

Finally, Sara admits that the OVP’s projects could no longer be pursued under the current political atmosphere. Could it be that governance is too much of a hassle when you’re the political elephant in the room? Maybe she believes that a vice presidency without action is more stylish.

So, should Sara step down? Or should we simply brace ourselves for more inaction, foreign loyalty, and broken promises? After all, why fix what’s not broken—unless, of course, it’s our faith in leadership.
