Vice President Sara Z. Duterte highlights the accomplishments and future direction of the Office of the Vice President in her year-end report video message.
Since its establishment in 1935, the Office of the Vice President (OVP)—the second-highest government office in the country—has carried a central mission of delivering public service and responding to the needs of the Filipino people. As the institution marked its 90th anniversary last year, the celebration not only honored its legacy but also laid out concrete plans to strengthen and preserve the Office for future generations.
Leading the milestone celebration in November 2025, Vice President Sara Z. Duterte emphasized the importance of safeguarding the history, programs, and contributions of past Vice Presidents.
“We are actively working toward realizing three critical goals: First, the OVP Museum, a dedicated space to permanently showcase the history, artifacts, and enduring legacy of the Vice Presidency for future generation of Filipinos,” VP Sara said.
According to Vice President Duterte, the OVP is actively coordinating with key cultural and heritage agencies, including the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP), the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), to ensure the proper curation and preservation of the Office’s historical materials.
To strengthen institutional foundations, the Vice President created a Technical Working Group to oversee the establishment of a permanent OVP headquarters in partnership with Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), and the New Senate Building Technical Team. Vice President Duterte said the permanent office will improve efficiency, reduce long-term costs, and ensure uninterrupted public service.
In addition to infrastructure initiatives, the Vice President expressed strong support for House Bill No. 4215 or OVP Charter, a proposed measure that seeks to clearly define the mandate of the Office of the Vice President and institutionalize its programs. The bill was authored by former Vice President and former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, now Representative of the Second District of Pampanga.
The proposed OVP Charter aims to formally establish the Office’s functions, authority, and capacity through legislation, ensuring that the mandate earned through 90 years of public service is constitutionally recognized and sustained.
These forward-looking initiatives were unveiled alongside the OVP’s 90th anniversary activities, which brought together former Vice Presidents, families of past leaders, public servants, youth participants, and partners from across the country. Together, they underscored both the enduring legacy of the Office and its evolving role in national development.
As the OVP enters its next decade, the anniversary celebration served not only as a tribute to the past but as a declaration of continuity, anchored in service, strengthened by history, and guided by a clear vision for the future.

Mula nang itatag noong 1935, ang Office of the Vice President (OVP)—ang ikalawang pinakamataas na tanggapan ng pamahalaan—ay may pangunahing misyong maghatid ng serbisyo sa publiko at tumugon sa pangangailangan ng sambayanang Pilipino. Sa paggunita ng ika-90 anibersaryo nito noong nakaraang taon, hindi lamang pinarangalan ng OVP ang mayamang kasaysayan nito, kundi inilatag din ang mga kongkretong hakbang upang patatagin at pangalagaan ang institusyon para sa mga susunod na henerasyon.
Pinangunahan ni Vice President Sara Z. Duterte ang makasaysayang pagdiriwang noong Nobyembre 2025, kung saan binigyang-diin niya ang kahalagahan ng pag-iingat at pagpapanatili ng kasaysayan, mga programa, at ambag ng mga nagdaang Pangalawang Pangulo.
“We are actively working toward realizing three critical goals: First, the OVP Museum, a dedicated space to permanently showcase the history, artifacts, and enduring legacy of the Vice Presidency for future generation of Filipinos,” wika ni VP Sara.
Dagdag niya, aktibong nakikipag-ugnayan ang OVP sa mga pangunahing ahensiyang pangkultura at pangkasaysayan, kabilang ang National Museum of the Philippines (NMP), National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), at National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), upang matiyak ang maayos na kurasyon at pangangalaga sa mga makasaysayang materyales ng tanggapan.
Upang higit pang patibayin ang institusyonal na pundasyon ng OVP, bumuo ang Pangalawang Pangulo ng isang Technical Working Group na siyang nakaatas na mangasiwa sa pagtatatag ng permanenteng punong-tanggapan ng OVP, katuwang ang Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), at ang New Senate Building Technical Team. Ayon kay VP Duterte, ang pagkakaroon ng permanenteng opisina ay magpapahusay sa kahusayan ng operasyon, magbabawas ng pangmatagalang gastusin, at titiyak sa tuluy-tuloy na paghahatid ng serbisyong publiko.
Kasabay ng mga inisyatibang pang-imprastraktura, ipinahayag din ng Bise Presidente ang matibay na suporta sa House Bill No. 4215 o OVP Charter, isang panukalang batas na naglalayong malinaw na tukuyin ang mandato ng Office of the Vice President at isabatas ang mga programa nito. Ang panukala ay inakda ni dating Pangalawang Pangulo at dating Pangulong Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, na kasalukuyang Kinatawan ng Ikalawang Distrito ng Pampanga.
Nilalayon ng OVP Charter na pormal na itatag sa pamamagitan ng batas ang mga tungkulin, kapangyarihan, at kakayahan ng tanggapan, upang matiyak na ang mandatong hinubog ng 90 taon ng paglilingkod ay mapapangalagaan at mapananatili.
Ipinakilala ang mga hakbanging ito kasabay ng mga aktibidad para sa ika-90 na anibersaryo ng OVP, na dinaluhan ng mga dating Pangalawang Pangulo, mga pamilya ng mga nagdaang lider, mga lingkod-bayan, kabataan, at mga katuwang mula sa iba’t ibang panig ng bansa. Sama-sama nilang binigyang-diin ang matibay na pamana ng OVP at ang patuloy nitong pag-angkop sa nagbabagong pangangailangan ng pambansang kaunlaran.
Sa pagpasok ng OVP sa panibagong yugto ng paglilingkod, nagsilbi ang anibersaryo hindi lamang bilang pag-alala sa nakaraan, kundi bilang malinaw na pahayag ng pagpapatuloy—nakaugat sa serbisyo, pinatatag ng kasaysayan, at ginagabayan ng malinaw na bisyon para sa hinaharap.
