The vice president holds a largely ceremonial role with no real power
MANILA - The Philippines' lower house of congress has slashed funding for Vice President Sara Duterte by nearly two-thirds in the proposed 2025 budget, as a deep split between Duterte and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr looms over midterm elections next year.
Funding for the vice president was cut by more than 1.3 billion pesos, leaving Duterte's office with 733 million pesos.Romualdez said the proposed budget, which has to be reconciled with the Senate's version, would be enough for the vice-president's office to maintain its services. "She was invited three times, but she did not show up," Romualdez said. "As representatives of the people, we expect all public officials to fulfil their duties, especially when it comes to the national budget."
Her resignation marked the collapse of what was once considered a formidable political alliance between two of the country's most powerful dynasties that helped Marcos and Duterte secure their 2022 electoral victories.
