VP Duterte should be ‘last person’ to seek Marcos resignation – solon

Lanao del Sur Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong said Thursday that Vice President Sara Duterte is the "last person" who should ask President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to resign because of a "conflict of interest." Adiong explained that it would be a conflict of interest for the Vice President to ask for the President's resignation, citing her own position. This statement comes amid rising political tensions in the Philippines. In the Philippines, it is not uncommon for the Vice President and the President to come from different political factions, often leading to political maneuvering and strained relations. The relationship between the current administration and Vice President Duterte, who is the daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte, is particularly under scrutiny. Rep. Adiong suggested that as a public official, the Vice President should prioritize the interests of the nation above all else, and should not deviate due to personal political ambitions or factional disputes. This remark highlights the power struggles and concerns about political stability within Philippine politics. The consistency between the Vice President's position and her action of demanding the President's resignation is being questioned. Source: Inquirer NewsInfo
