Impeachment raps vs Duterte not a topic in Marcos, House meet – solon
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. met with over 200 members of the House of Representatives for a pre-scheduled fellowship event.
The meeting included Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez and Majority Floor Leader Manuel Jose Dalipe, and was confirmed by the Presidential Communications Office.
House good government and public accountability chairperson Joel Chua stated that the President thanked the members and encouraged them to continue their work.
The fellowship gathering was not intended to discuss the impeachment complaints filed against Vice President Sara Duterte.
La Union 1st District Rep. Paolo Ortega V mentioned that House Resolution No. 2092, expressing support for President Marcos, and a manifesto backing him were presented during the meeting.
Ortega clarified that while the timing might suggest otherwise, the meeting was a long-planned event, with attempts to hold similar gatherings in previous years.
This event took place amidst political tensions, including Vice President Duterte's allegations against Speaker Romualdez and discussions regarding confidential funds.
