Trillanes on Sara Duterte: Hinog na hinog na for impeachment
Former Senator Leila de Lima believes that Vice President Sara Duterte's alleged actions could lead to impeachment, disbarment, and criminal cases.
De Lima stated that Duterte's actions constitute grave misconduct and a betrayal of public trust, which are grounds for impeachment according to the Constitution.
An impeachment complaint could be crafted based on these grounds, particularly concerning the alleged misuse of confidential funds.
Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV agrees, stating that the time is ripe for an impeachment complaint against Duterte due to her recent outburst.
Trillanes cited Duterte's actions as "red flags" indicating her "unfitness" for her position, especially considering the possibility of her assuming the presidency.
He warned that giving the powers of the presidency to someone with her "actuations" should make every Filipino fearful.
