‘God save the Philippines from Duterte 2.0’
Four congressmen believe Vice President Sara Duterte's dismissive attitude towards her impeachment complaint is a facade to conceal her fear.
They stated that Duterte's dismissive remarks, including a joke that a romantic breakup is worse than being impeached, only reinforced the perception that she is deeply anxious about the trial ahead.
Makabayan lawmakers France Castro, Arlene Brosas, and Raoul Manuel said Duterte's reaction showed her disregard for the charges and contempt for public accountability.
They reiterated that impeachment is a serious matter of accountability to the people, not a trivial personal issue.
Concerns were raised about missing confidential funds, ghost employees, and questionable transactions, which demand explanation.
The Makabayan bloc concluded by stating, "God save the Philippines from corruption and EJKs. God save the Philippines from Duterte 2.0."
