These past few days, Sara Zimmerman Duterte Carpio has gone the whole hog, not choosing serious issues to discuss but throwing everything, including the kitchen sink, against the Marcos loyalists, kakampinks, the revolutionary and other political forces that have been demanding that the senators look deeply into the evidence against Sara in the ongoing impeachment trial and see for themselves why she did the worst financial hanky-panky in both the Office of the Vice President (OVP) and the Department of Education (DepEd), threatened her superior with death and violated Commission on Audit (COA) rules with impunity.
In The Hague, journalists found out that this vice president was not reading the newspapers and does not know a wee bit about Pax Silica that she had to ask what was it, an indication that while she has been travelling worldwide, she has not kept abreast of a serious issue as the US offshoring its production hub of military-grade chips and other components to support the US Department of Defense. Yet, Sara and the Duterte dynasty had been demanding that Ferdinand Marcos Jr. resign the presidency so she could take over. Her “Fox Silica” and “F*k Silica” retort, proved to all and sundry that Sara doesn’t read and failed to understand a scheme hatched in December 2025 by the US to ensure a continuing supply of chips, rare earths and components for the dwindling weapons arsenal of the US military.
After Rep. Sandro Marcos disclosed that the Dutertes agreed to support the presidential campaign of his father only if they are granted the power to name the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the executive secretary and install a Duterte poo bah in his powerful position, the Duterte minions went on overdrive, insisting that Marcos Jr. pleaded for Sara to him as he would lose to Leni Robredo in the 2022 presidential race. Sara has maintained the myth that without her, Marcos Jr. would have irretrievably lost. It is the Sara tantruminati at work as she continues to lose the battle for the truth, facts and evidence. Thus the social media bombardment of more lies, disinformation and emotional terrorism.
Dahil hindi alam ni Sara ang kahalagahan ng Pax Silica at tikom ang bibig niya araw-araw na pananalasa ng Tsina sa loob mismo ng teritoryo ng Pilipinas (ang tunay na batayan ng pangangamkam ng Tsina ay ang krokis ng isang oceanographer na Kuomintang noong 1947 na umangkas sa isang Coast Guard cutter at hindi ang sinasabing pag-aaral na ginawa ng isang astronomer na Tsino noong ika-13 siglo dahil ang kalangitan ang pinag-aaralan nito at hindi kalupaan o karagatan) ang pinaglalaruan niya ngayon ay ang kanyang hinagpis sa kapalpakan ni Marcos Jr. Sinisi ang gobyerno sa pagbaha sa Davao City gayong itinago nila Duterte sa baul ang master plan sa pagsugo sa baha na ginawa ng Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA.) Di rin maipaliwang kung saang bulsa napunta ang P51-bilyon para infrastructure sa kaharian ng mga Duterte saa huling tatlong taon ni Rodrigo Duterte.
Habang nauungkat ang mga dokumento mula sa OVP at DepEd na nagpapatunay sa kasinungalingan ni Sara sampu ng kanyang mga alipores, muls sa kanyang pagpirma sa mga ulat ng gastusin, ang ilegal na pagtataklaga ng mga opisyal ng military na security niya bilang special disbursing officers (SDOs) at ang pagkumpirma sa mga ulat na walang resibo na tinanggap ang salapi ng mga impormante niya, ang 105 na atake at pagrerekluta ng NPA na naudlot dahil kay Sara (na kinain naman ng butihing henyo ng Senado na si Robinhood Padilla) kahit na mismong COA ang nagtataka na walang ulat sa kanila ng paggamit ng impormasyon at tagumpay ng mga ito. Samakatuwid, nagimbento ang OVP nat kung sinuman ang scriptwriter ni Sara ay dapat makulong. Sa sangkaterbang “successful operations” ni Sara sa bagay na wala siyang pakialam, ni isang ulat pinansyal ay wala siyang nagawa.
Sara’s frantic storytelling cannot cut the mustard. Her defense panel is doing just as bad, from refusing to agree on the stipulation of facts, to the delaying tactic on acknowledging the evidence that are at the crux of the impeachment trial, all because the prosecution could have tampered or fabricated them, only to lose the argument when Lorna Patajo Kapunan tersely told them the prosecutors would use their documents, and the defense counsel tried to y uncle as the response pulled the rug from under her feet. hargue about their facts and prove that the defense was defending the indefensible. If the quantum of evidence militates against Sara for being the rudderless head of office who deflects the blame and rejects her responsibility, then she has to be convicted by the impeachment court.
The indolent Sara then pivots to Marcos Jr., accusing him of incompetence, laziness and drug addiction in a series of stream-of-conscious attacks. One risible claim was that she is being vilified for not signing the General Appropriations Act (GAA) or the national budget because it was riddled with graft, much bigger than her misused P612.5-million confidential fund (CF.) Ito ay isang panlilinlang.The vice president doesn’t sign the national budget. This is something that she should have learned in her high school in Calinan district. This is the entire problem when “popularized” political non-entity like Sara is promoted to her level of incompetence and sent to the OVP through a digitalized vote of 32-million, with 20-million ballots counted in eight minutes after the precincts closed on May 9, 2022.
5ara’s tantruminati would continue to churn out malicious stories until their funds pipeline from China, Singapore and the Middle East run dry. The US and other Western powers will not be amused contemplating another Duterte presidency that will act as a lapdog of China, despite the fact that of the multi-billion dollar investments promised by Xi Jinping, not even 5% materialized. In other words, nabudol sila. Yet, you find Sara praising China, felicitating Xi in Mandarin and keeping her trap shut when China harasses Filipino fishermen and soldiers, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and the Philippine Air Force (PAF.) We do not know if Sara condoled with the two Chinese Coast Guard members who died when a Chinese Navy ship rammed their ship after failing to hit a Philippine Coast Guard boat in 2025. It will be a food fight between the Chinese Coast Guard and the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN.) Kanino tataya si Sara?#
