VICE PRESIDENT SARA DUTERTE IS THE LAST REMAINING HOPE FOR THE PHILIPPINES
Editorial: Tio Moreno
Many of you might believe that VP Inday Sara Duterte is positioning herself as part of the opposition after enduring relentless political persecution and attacks from QuadCom, the Young Guns, and the Makabayan Bloc. But the reality is, she remains the lone pro-Philippines voice within the executive branch.
She is not the opposition—she is a visible threat. A threat to the insatiable desires and personal gains fueling the MARCOS-ARANETA-ROMUALDEZ corruption-masturbation sessions that their cahoots and cronies eagerly participate in.
This is precisely why the Makabayan Bloc was also deployed as a weapon for her impeachment.
With VP Sara in the picture, the sordid orgy between the Makabayan Bloc, the USA, the CPP-NPA-NDF, and the Marcos administration cannot reach its political climax. Her presence disrupts their carefully orchestrated agenda, leaving them frustrated and exposed.
One prime example of Vice President Sara Duterte disrupting their longed-for political orgasm is her firm opposition to the United States' request for the Philippines to host 50,000 Afghan refugees.
This opposition is not born out of hostility toward the United States.
Rather, it is grounded in well-founded legal and constitutional principles that prioritize national security and safeguard Philippine sovereignty—echoeing established legal doctrines and jurisprudence under Philippine law.
The fundamental basis for VP Duterte’s stance lies in the principle of sovereignty enshrined in the 1987 Constitution.
Article II, Section 7 of the Constitution states:
“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘶𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘺. 𝘐𝘯 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘵𝘺, 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.”
By opposing the US proposal, VP Sara highlights that hosting such a large number of refugees – 50,000 Afghans – should not proceed without thoroughly considering its implications on national sovereignty and security.
Allowing foreign governments to dictate the use of Philippine territory undermines the spirit of this provision, which prioritizes the interests and integrity of the Filipino nation.
In addition, VP Sara’s apprehension about security threats is not unfounded. While the US request may be made under humanitarian grounds, the sheer scale of relocating 50,000 individuals poses risks that the Philippine government must prudently address.
The 1987 Constitution, under Article II, Section 4, underscores the State’s duty to protect its citizens:
“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘥𝘶𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦.”
Given the geopolitical instability in Afghanistan and potential infiltration of extremist elements among refugees, VP Duterte’s opposition demonstrates a proactive commitment to national security.
This aligns with principles established in the case of Lansang v. Garcia. While the case did not specifically involve refugees, it set an important precedent regarding the government’s authority to act when national security is at risk.
