House Minority Leader 4Ps Party-list Rep. Marcelino "Nonoy" Libanan is prodding Vice President Sara Duterte heed the advice of her father, which is "to get out of  politics” as soon as possible.

Libanan had this to say Sunday, Nov. 24, in the aftermath of the Vice President's latest controversial actions wherein she flexed her might in a two-day unauthorized stay at the House of Representatives. 

She also issued threats to the lives of President Marcos, First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez, in case she herself gets assassinated. 

The Vice President is the eldest daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte.

“We strongly urge the Vice President to listen to her father’s counsel for her to step away from politics before it’s too late,” Libanan said in a statement.

“She is clearly unlike her father. It would appear that she makes crucial judgements, and issues utterly reckless pronouncements without any preparation or thoughtful consideration,” Libanan stated.

“The Vice President lacks both the gumption and the grace required of a national leader,” added the House official.

Earlier this month, the former president had called on his daughter, who has had a falling out with Marcos, to get out of politics.

"Si Inday, pasalamat ka na lang sa Diyos na ang tatay mo naging Presidente, ikaw naging Vice President. Bihirang-bihira yan, bihira sa isang pamilya. Hindi lahat ng pamilya sa Pilipinas... pasalamat na lang tayo. Now, as fast as you can, get out of politics," the elder Duterte said, referring to the Vice President by her nickname.

(Inday should be thankful to the Lord that her father became President and she became Vice President. That’s a very rare occurrence – it's extremely uncommon for a family to experience something like that. Not every family has such an opportunity. We should just be grateful. Now, as quickly as possible, she should step away from politics.)

"Maghanapbuhay ka, negosyo, basta mabuhay ka lang [ng] mapayapa. Umalis ka na dyan sa pulitika. Huwag ka na mag-ambisyon, tutal vice president ka na," he added.

(She should focus on earning a living, running a business, and living peacefully. Politics isn’t for her. There's no need for ambition—after all, she’s already the Vice President.)

The Office of the Vice President’s (OVP) highly irregular use of confidential funds has come under intense congressional scrutiny amid Commission on Audit (COA) findings that disbursements were backed by questionable acknowledgement receipts.

The Vice President has maintained that she did not misuse her office’s confidential funds, and that the congressional inquiry is politically motivated.
