INQToday: Marcos stance on Duterte impeachment ‘unchanged’ amid Enrile’s remarks
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" R. Marcos Jr. maintains his stance against the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte, with his position remaining unchanged despite remarks from Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile.
Enrile warned that disregarding the rule of law could set a "very detrimental precedent," a sentiment that Marcos is considering among various opinions.
The Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) organized a nationwide rally to support Marcos' rejection of impeachment efforts against Duterte.
However, Enrile questioned the INC's stance, asking if they could override constitutional processes or discard the rule of law.
Meanwhile, Akbayan Rep. Percival Cendaña believes that delays in impeachment proceedings against Duterte embolden her to violate laws and aim for the presidency.
Cendaña urged the House to act on the impeachment complaints against the vice president.
Other lawmakers, such as those from Abante, appear hesitant to pursue impeachment due to time constraints.
