Vice President Sara Duterte attributes the recent increase in school violence to what she calls “weak leadership” within the government. Speaking in a chance interview in The Hague, Netherlands, she links the violence involving young people to the perceived absence of visible leadership at the top, saying this affects behavior not only among the public but also within government, where people may prioritize their own interests. Duterte also characterizes the issue as related to leaders losing moral authority, referring to the President, Cabinet secretaries, and other officials. The reports describe her comments as an effort to explain the broader pattern of incidents and their underlying drivers rather than to name specific cases. Both outlets present the same core point: Duterte’s assessment that school violence is escalating alongside wider national problems of governance and public accountability. The articles do not provide additional details on investigations, new policies, or specific measures she is proposing.
