Vice President Sara Duterte took a prominent role in the Bagong Pilipinas kick-off rally at Quirino Grandstand, aligning herself with significant socio-political movements within the nation. Arriving in the late afternoon, her presence was a strong statement of her active engagement in the country's pivotal events, organized by the Presidential Communications Office.

In her capacity as the head of the Department of Education, VP Duterte voiced her department's full backing of the 8-point Socioeconomic Agenda set by the Marcos administration. This agenda, critical for the nation's progress, has found a supporter in Duterte, reflecting her commitment to the country's developmental goals.

Furthermore, VP Duterte expressed solidarity with a prayer rally in Davao City, which stands against the proposed changes to the Philippine Constitution. Her stance is clear and firm; she recognizes the potential perils of entrusting the Constitution to individuals driven by personal and political agendas. Her statement, "Mahalagang makita at maintindihan natin ang panganib na nakaamba sa atin oras na tuluyan nating isinuko ang ating Saligang Batas sa kamay ng mga taong may personal at politikal na interes," underscores her apprehension about the risks involved in constitutional amendments, particularly through methods she deems dubious, like the 'Pera kapalit ng pirma para sa People's Initiative.'

VP Duterte's participation in the Bagong Pilipinas rally is not just a mere appearance but a testament to her proactive stance on the nation's socio-political trajectory. Her call to the nation is to remain vigilant and discerning, especially concerning constitutional amendments that could shape the country's future.
