MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Sara Duterte must be “delulu” (slang for delusional) for appointing herself “designated survivor” as she announced that she would snub President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s State of the Nation Address (Sona) this year.
“Who appointed you? This is delulu (slang for delusional) behavior. She is no alternative or backup leader when the only legacy she has proven to Filipinos is her confidential funds racket and the thousands of victims of her family’s fake war on drugs,” said Kabataan Partylist Executive Vice President Renee Louise Co.

“Pa-main character na politiko na gustong pumostura na oposisyon, pero wala siyang maloloko. Drama ito sa pagitan ng magkaaway na dinastiya at paksyon ng ruling class,” Co added. “Genuine leaders always show up to answer the call to serve the people, and not just when it is convenient to their political ambitions.”
(A politician who wants to be a main character, presenting herself as the opposition. But she can’t fool anyone. This is a drama between rival dynasties and factions of the ruling class. Genuine leaders always show up to answer the call to serve the people, and not just when it is convenient to their political ambitions.)

This ensures continuity of government in case a catastrophic event kills or incapacitates the president, vice president, and other top officials.
Duterte did not provide any reason or explanation for why she opted to skip Marcos’ third Sona on July 22.
Last month, however, Duterte stepped down as DepEd chief and vice chair of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict.
Her resignation will take effect on July 19, and Senator Sonny Angara will replace her as education secretary.
