House Committee on Appropriations Vice Chair Jil Bongalon didn’t hold back his frustration after Vice President Sara Duterte snubbed the plenary deliberations on the proposed 2025 budget for the Office of the Vice President (OVP). According to Bongalon, the VP’s absence sends a clear message.
“It shows that she’s not interested in her duties and functions as the Vice President of the Philippines. So kung ganiyan po ang lumalabas, probably we can ask her to step down as the Vice President,” Bongalon remarked, raising eyebrows across the room.
This bold comment has sparked conversations, as people wonder what this could mean for Duterte's standing and the OVP's budget deliberations. Many are waiting to see how the Vice President will respond to this public challenge, as Bongalon’s statement has added fuel to the ongoing scrutiny of her performance in office.
