If elections were held today for the 2028 Philippine Presidential Elections, newly-acquitted former Senator Leila de Lima will win over newly-resigned cabinet member Vice President Sara Duterte.

De Lima garnered 59.52% compared to Duterte’s 40.48% in the first 24-hours of a straw poll conducted by The Adobo Chronicles.

The straw poll coincides with both personalities hugging the headlines, with Duterte resigning her cabinet post and de Lima being acquitted of the last of her drug-related charges.

The poll continues all through this week. You can vote here: https://strawpoll.com/6QnMQ7RX8ne

So, our darling Sara Duterte has decided to exit stage left from her roles as DepEd Secretary and a member of the Marcos cabinet. 🏃‍♀️💨

Let’s be honest – the education crisis in the Philippines is a hot mess, and it needs someone with a bit more intellectual oomph. 🧠✨ But Sara? Well, she was about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. 🚪🐠

Imagine trying to solve the education crisis when your own grasp of the subject is shakier than a Jenga tower in an earthquake. 🌪️😬 It’s like hiring a cat to bark – it’s impossible! 🐱🐶

So, Sara’s resignation might be the best thing since sliced bread. 🍞👍 At least now, there’s a slim chance for someone with a few more neurons to step in and tackle the disaster that is the Philippine education system. 🧩📚

So, adieu, Sara! 👋 We’ll NOT miss your… unique contributions. 😅 Here’s hoping the next DepEd Secretary actually knows the difference between a textbook and a Kindle book. 📖🚫

Let’s cross our fingers that the next DepEd Sec has some real brains, does not have media phobia, can comment beyond “no comment”, and is not just pure hype!🤞💡
