Reported on June 19 by the reference news websiteManila, Reuters reported on June 19 that Philippine Vice President Sarah Duterte resigned as Minister of Education and Vice Chairman of the Counter insurgency Working Group on June 19, which is the latest sign of the collapse of the alliance she formed with Philippine President Marcos.
Chelloy Gallafield, the communications secretary of the Presidential Palace, said in a statement that Marcos had accepted Sarah's resignation and thanked her for her efforts during her tenure.
"Sarah refused to explain the reason for her resignation. She will continue to serve as Vice President," Gallafield said
Sarah Duterte is the daughter of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.
According to the report, Sarah said at another press conference that she "resigned not because of weakness, but because she really cared about teachers and young people".
The Marcos family and the Duterte family joined hands in 2022, when Sarah became Marcos' vice presidential running partner, which enabled Marcos to use the huge contacts of the Duterte family to lay the foundation for the revival of the Marcos dynasty.
The outside world has always thought that their alliance will collapse sooner or later, but analysts are surprised that this day has come so quickly.(Compiled by/Yang Xuelei)
