Vice President Sara Duterte personally condoled with the family of Vice Gov. Dionisio Victor Balite Monday afternoon, July 22.
Duterte visited the wake of Balite at around 1:40 p. m. at BIT-IC Dao chapel. She stayed for around an hour talking to the family of Balite.
Balite passed away on July 17. He was 52.
“July 22 nandito ako ngayon sa Bohol I want to symphatize sa mga Boholanos sa pagkamatay sa kanilang Vice Governor. I also wanted to lighten, uplift the mood of Boholanos especially sa suspension sa kanilang duly elected officials,” Duterte told reporters.
She added,” Of course, it’s Bohol Day, I am bringing message of hope sa mga Boholanos na kaya natin magtulungan na magiging maayos ang bayan natin.”
Duterte also said she would not watch the State of the Nation Address (Sona) of President Marcos even on TV or gadgets.
Recently, Duterte attracted attention by appointing herself as the “designated survivor,” a vague remark that some interpreted as a possible threat.
“No, busy ako sa mga activities dito sa Bohol,” Duterte said.
