VP SARA DUTERTE
Sara ouster talk dismissed
“FAKE news.”
This is the statement of House Majority Leader Mannix Dalipe regarding the circulating rumors about an alleged plan to file an impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte.
Dalipe said such rumors as baseless and detrimental to political unity.
He emphasized that the speculation of House Leaders planning to impeach the Vice President is unfounded.
He stressed that such rumors are mere attempts to sow discord between Vice President Sara Duterte and Speaker Martin Romualdez, and there is no truth in them.
On the rumors about Romualdez’s supposed presidential aspirations for 2028, Dalipe said Romualdez is currently dedicated to advancing legislation in support of President Bongbong Marcos’ agenda to improve the lives of Filipinos, and no decision has been made regarding a presidential bid.
Responding to claims that Speaker Romualdez is undermining VP Sara due to potential competition in the 2028 elections, Dalipe stated that these rumors are without merit.
He reassured that Speaker Romualdez has always shown respect towards the Vice President and such derogatory tactics are not part of his approach and his character.
Dalipe further explained the stringent requirements for filing an impeachment complaint in Congress. He highlighted that any complaint must be supported by substantial evidence and justifiable reasons, in line with the constitutional process.
Reminding the public of the role of Congress in impeachment proceedings, Dalipe noted that while any Filipino citizen has the right to file a complaint, the process is rigorous and requires significant evidence for it to be considered by Congress.
