PDP-Laban to voters: Elect senators who will stand with VP Sara Duterte
The PDP Laban party has denounced the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte, calling it a "sham and a railroaded process driven by political motives."
The party views the impeachment as a blatant display of dirty politics, an affront to the sovereign will of the Filipino people, and a reckless abuse of power by certain House members.
PDP-Laban alleged that the impeachment was orchestrated to divert public attention from the country's worsening situation and to damage Duterte's chances of running for a higher position in 2028.
The PDP Laban has urged Filipinos to elect Senate candidates who will support Vice President Sara Duterte in the impeachment trial, emphasizing that the Senate's composition will determine her conviction or acquittal.
The party believes that impeachment is a numbers game and that more allies in the Senate would be better for the country.
