EXPLOSIVE DEMAND: RESIGN NOW! MARCOS DRUG ALLEGATIONS AND DUTERTE’S $2 BILLION SECRET FUND SPARK ‘LIES-BUILT’ GOVERNMENT COLLAPSE FEARS

The political atmosphere in the Philippines has reached a fever pitch, boiling over with accusations so explosive they threaten to annihilate the credibility of the nation’s highest office. In a dramatic, unyielding statement, the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) Central Visayas chapter has not just criticized the administration; they have issued an ultimatum: President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte MUST RESIGN IMMEDIATELY.

This is not routine opposition noise. This is a demand for a complete system overhaul, a call for the very fabric of governance to be ripped up and replaced by a National Transition Council composed of “representatives of the people.” Bayan Central Visayas Chairman Jaime Paglinawan, speaking with the cold fury of disillusionment, declared the current administration to be “built on a foundation of lies,” suggesting that the votes that propelled them to power were merely a smoke screen concealing a reservoir of “dirty secrets.”

The fuel feeding this political firestorm is nothing less than the astonishing revelations that have fractured the unity of the First Family itself. Paglinawan pointed directly to the statements made by Senator Imee Marcos, the President’s own sister, as undeniable proof of alleged misconduct at the highest level. The accusation leveled by Bayan is staggering, transforming the hallowed halls of Malacañang into something sinister: a “private rehabilitation center for a president allegedly known to his own family as a drug addict.” This dark, personal allegation, emerging from the inner sanctum of the ruling clan, introduces an element of profound instability and moral rot that strikes at the core of the President’s fitness to govern. The image of the highest office being compromised by personal demons is a haunting specter that the administration cannot simply dismiss.

But the moral indictment doesn’t end with the President. Vice President Sara Duterte, who rode into office on the promise of continuity and strength, is facing an equally ferocious assault on her financial integrity. Paglinawan unleashed a barrage of accusations centered on the Vice President’s alleged misuse of public funds, transforming her into the poster child for bureaucratic avarice.

The figures are chilling: Duterte allegedly “brazenly controlled over 2 billion pesos in confidential funds,” a massive, opaque pool of money shielded from public scrutiny. Worse, the audit trail allegedly shows she “squandered 125 million pesos in just 11 days,” turning public money into a disposable expense. This is corruption alleged on a grand scale, where accountability is not merely absent but seemingly scorned. The accusation that her powerful allies in the Senate and even the Supreme Court acted to block impeachment proceedings against her adds a layer of conspiracy, suggesting that the very institutions designed to ensure justice have been weaponized as a shield for the powerful.

The rot, according to Bayan, has seeped into every corner of the nation, manifesting in lethal incompetence. As devastating proof, Paglinawan cited the recent P50-billion flood control scam in Cebu, a project meant to protect citizens that allegedly became a tool of destruction. These projects, condemned as deliberately substandard, have not only destroyed homes and ruined livelihoods but, most tragically, have been linked to DEATHS. The narrative is clear: this administration’s alleged corruption is not an abstract financial crime; it is a deadly force that directly claims the lives and futures of ordinary Filipinos.

The emotional core of Bayan’s demand lies in the fundamental loss of trust. “The President and Vice President currently have no moral ascendancy to govern our nation,” Paglinawan insisted. This loss of moral authority is the tipping point, the irreversible break between the rulers and the ruled. The organization argues that any investigation conducted under the current “pro-Marcos and pro-Duterte groups” is inherently corrupted, destined to be a whitewash designed to “cover up corruption.”

This is why the call for a National Transition Council (NTC) is so radical and compelling. The NTC is envisioned as a temporary government of national unity, composed of “representatives of the people,” an independent entity tasked with three critical missions:

Holding Corrupt Officials Accountable: Prosecuting those responsible without political interference.

Implementing Long-Awaited Reforms: Addressing systemic issues that perpetuate poverty and inequality.

Ensuring a Truly Honest Election: Guaranteeing that the next government is chosen by the people, not by the ruling elite’s “dirty secrets.”

The Bayan statement is a cry of desperation and fury, a political cannon shot fired across the bow of the ruling establishment. It transforms the scattered reports of drug allegations, confidential fund misuse, and construction scams into a single, cohesive narrative of an administration unfit to serve, built on a structure of lies and moral bankruptcy.

The final, thunderous conclusion leaves no room for ambiguity: “This is why the people are furious. Marcos Jr. and Sara Duterte MUST STEP DOWN NOW.” The nation watches, breath held tight, to see if this explosive ultimatum—fueled by allegations of drug use in the presidential palace and billions in squandered secret funds—will be the catalyst that triggers the collapse of a government that the opposition now brands as fundamentally illegitimate. The stage is set for a political confrontation of epic, potentially revolutionary, proportions.
