"The Vice President will not watch the SONA on TV or gadgets. She is currently in Bohol to empathize with the Boholanos for the death of their vice governor, as well as to uplift the general mood of the people brought about by the suspension of their duly elected local officials," the Office of the Vice President (OVP) said in a statement.
"It is also Bohol Day today, which makes it an opportune time for the Vice President to bring a message of hope," it added.
On July 11, Duterte said she would not attend the SONA and appointed herself a "designated survivor," a remark construed as a threat by some lawmakers.
In the United States, the designated survivor role is assigned to a Cabinet official who must sit out the president's State of the Union Address to ensure continuity of leadership in case the president and all constitutional successors are killed or incapacitated in a terrorist attack or catastrophic event.
