President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. confirmed sending private messages to lawmakers discouraging them from filing impeachment cases against Vice President Sara Duterte.

Marcos described the impeachment proceedings as a "storm in a teacup" and a waste of time, stating it would not benefit Filipinos.

He emphasized that pursuing impeachment would "tie down" the House of Representatives and the Senate and distract from the real work of governance.

Vice President Duterte declined to comment on President Marcos Jr.'s remarks regarding the impeachment complaint.

Duterte also refused to comment when asked about Marcos Jr. saying "never say never" about their relationship, which the vice president had previously stated had reached a "point of no return."
