CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Philippines – The legal fraternity in Cagayan de Oro raised their collective eyebrows when Vice President Sara Duterte abruptly tendered her resignation last Wednesday.
The move sent shockwaves through the public, leaving some cheering and others scratching their heads.
Attorney Ed Cuaresma, a seasoned legal mind and former president of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) – Cagayan de Oro and Misamis Oriental Chapter, didn’t feign surprise.
For him, this was a long-anticipated chess move in the high-stakes political game.
The Dutertes and Marcoses, once allies, now resemble warring factions in a Shakespearean drama.
Why the sudden exit?
Cuaresma’s answer is succinct: “The discord between her family and the Marcoses reached a boiling point.”It’s as if the pressure cooker finally blew its lid. But this isn’t just about personal vendettas; it’s about power, legacy, and the future of the nation.
And what about Ferdinand Marcos Jr.?
Well, he’s not exactly twiddling his thumbs.
His cronies are sharpening their knives, ready to carve out their piece of the political pie.
But Sara? She’s no pawn.
Her resignation is a calculated move—a tactical retreat before the storm hits.
As for the vice president’s party, their statement dances on the edge of contradiction.
Policies clash, alliances crumble, and the nation watches with bated breath.
In this political theater, the script is still being written, and the audience holds its collective breath.
