The First Lady is responsible for her behaviour. The Vice President is responsible for hers.
The first is married to an elected figure, the President no less. An ounce of propriety is expected of her, naturally. The latter IS AN elected figure, official manner and conduct are expected of her. She is bound by the officialdom of her pronouncements and actions.
You can compare both of the ladies‘ behaviours. BUT you don‘t judge one‘s on the basis of the other‘s. Or we drag all the ladies under the microscope. . .
If I say Dracula is a blood sucker, would you say the Leech and the Anopheles are your bases for description to justify Dracula‘s bloody preference for hydration and thus trivialise his bloody hobby? Or to nail him?
Why drag the first lady‘s person into focus when the vice president‘s is put to scrutiny?
In a thrilling turn of events, Vice President Sara Duterte, in an act of unparalleled boldness, accepted a challenge to undergo psychiatric and drug tests. Naturally, this was a power move aimed to silence her critics. Little did she know, her detractors were more than ready to play ball. The young guns in Congress, not ones to back down, gladly accepted her dare and raised the stakes, asking her to appear in Congress and answer a few minor questions about her time as VP, DepEd Secretary, and Davao City Mayor. It’s the kind of political showdown that makes for riveting reality TV — will she pass with flying colors or fumble under the spotlight? The popcorn is hot, and the audience is eager. In the end, the lesson is simple: be careful what you ask for, especially when your critics have better tricks up their sleeves than you anticipated.
