Since Vice President Sara Duterte bolted the Marcos Cabinet, her allies have been peddling her as a 'real opposition leader,' but her words and actions make her unfit for this role, say political analystsby the Liberal Party, which has led the political opposition since the Rodrigo Duterte administration. LP spokesperson Leila de Lima pointed out that the qualities of an opposition leader “cannot be seen in the track record” of the Vice President.
“The role of the opposition in a democracy includes demanding accountability and safeguarding democratic institutions when they are in or out of power. A political rival or a political enemy is not necessarily the opposition,” Calimbahin told Rappler.“The figure we need is a leader who is not really thinking about the elections in 2028, but someone who stands on clear principles and values, who really talks about issues that matter to the people,” Salgado said.
But it was Sara who later admitted that the Uniteam – the electoral coalition she and Marcos led during the campaign for the 2022 national elections – was all a farce., so there’s no coming back from that and I think, in a way, they know that the ICC is coming sooner than later,” Llamas said.It was the Duterte family who was instrumental in helping bring back the Marcoses into the political spotlight. But now, it is the Duterte family that must try to hold on to power.
It should be noted that this move falls under the Dutertes’ pattern of throwing off guard their rivals and the public by leaving them guessing about their next political move. Akbayan called the supposed senatorial bid of the three Dutertes the “last gasp by a faltering old man and his offspring to cling to political relevance.”However, the climb to be relevant again means assigning someone to be the face of the Dutertes.
“It would be hard for them to recover,” Salgado said, noting that the traditional opposition politicians only expanded under the Noynoy Aquino presidency.
