After May 12, hemming and hawing in Marcos circles over Sara’s impeachment?
Malacañang has denied rumors that President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. is pushing for an impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte.
Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro stated that there is no truth to reports of the President pursuing the impeachment of VP Sara.
The impeachment complaint against Duterte includes accusations of betrayal of public trust, culpable violation of the Constitution, graft and corruption, misuse of confidential and intelligence funds, and making threats against the First Couple and the House Speaker.
The House of Representatives impeached Duterte on February 5, with a complaint endorsed by over 200 congressmen.
However, following the administration's unexpected loss in the recent Senate elections, there is now speculation that the impeachment trial may not proceed.
President Marcos Jr. has reportedly asked Cabinet members to focus on governance and priority goals, with the subtext possibly indicating a shift away from the impeachment proceedings.
