I truly regret giving Bongbong Marcos the benefit of the doubt in 2022. I should’ve listened when PRRD warned us. And honestly, I also resented VP Sara for standing beside him. I guess a part of me just wished things had taken a different turn. But things changed when I began to understand that the VP has her own way of leading.
She’s not one to be pushed around. She’s solid in her stand. She is decisive. And whenever she realizes she made a wrong decision, she takes full accountability for it regardless of the cost. If she were spineless or unprincipled, she would have simply played along. She would have taken the easy path. If she did that, her father wouldn’t have been dragged to The Hague. She wouldn’t be facing the mess that now threatens not just her future, but the lives of her own children.
Yet she stood her ground. She chose to face everything head-on. She chose to stand against the powerful and the corrupt, fully aware of the cost.
That’s why it’s infuriating to hear that ex “PRRD supporter,” now a Tamby hustler vlogger, shamelessly pin everything happening to PRRD on the VP. They lay the blame on her as if this pain was a choice. As if this was betrayal. No. What we are witnessing is sacrifice. A father sacrificing himself for his people, and a daughter sacrificing her father’s protection to stand for what she knows is right.
And the silver lining in all of this is this: what I see in her now is not just a woman standing in the storm, but a leader being born through it. A leader who dares to shield her people, even when it means bleeding alone. A leader who carries the weight of a nation in silence and still chooses to rise.
That is what real leadership looks like. Leadership anchored on principle. Leadership that chooses integrity over comfort, duty over safety.
They’ve both sacrificed so much for this country. And I hold on to the hope that none of it is in vain.
The day of reckoning will come. It’s only a matter of time.
