Failed impeach bid vs Marcos not comparable to Sara Duterte’s case – Palace
Malacañang, through Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro, stated that the impeachment situations of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte should not be compared.
Castro emphasized that the House of Representatives holds the authority over impeachment proceedings.
She pointed out significant differences, such as the President not allegedly spending 125 million pesos in just 11 days, unlike accusations faced by Duterte.
Castro also highlighted that President Marcos Jr. is working properly and accounting for his actions in accordance with the law, with no Notice of Disallowance issued against the Office of the President.
Vice President Duterte was impeached by the House on February 5, facing accusations of betrayal of public trust, culpable violation of the Constitution, graft and corruption, and other high crimes, which she denies.
An impeachment complaint against President Marcos Jr. was not filed by former NYC chairperson Ronald Cardema and his wife, Marie Cardema.
