TACLOBAN CITY – Tingog party-list Representative Jude Acidre has suggested that Vice President Sara Duterte appoint caretakers or designate personnel to manage her office in her absence, ensuring that public service remains uninterrupted.
In a media conference, Acidre emphasized the need to maintain the functionality of the Office of the Vice President (OVP), despite his current political distance from the Vice President.
“Although we are not politically aligned with the Vice President at the moment, this is my personal take—that personnel should be delegated in the office, and that every effort should be made to ensure that the Office of the Vice President continues to deliver its services,” Acidre said.
Vice President Duterte returned to the country on Sunday after attending to matters related to the detention of her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, in a prison facility in the Netherlands, facing crimes against humanity relative to his brutal campaign on illegal drugs during his six-year term.
Acidre’s recommendation underscores the importance of continuity in government operations and reflects Tingog Party-list’s commitment to effective governance and public service delivery.
