INQToday: Palace: Marcos cool to dialogues on Duterte impeachment; Teves to undergo ‘major surgery’
Senator Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III approved of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s non-intervention in the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte.
Pimentel cited the 1987 Constitution, stating the President has no constitutional role in impeachment processes as they are also subject to impeachment.
The President should maintain neutrality and avoid commenting to ensure impartiality, according to Pimentel.
A Palace official, Press Officer Claire Castro, confirmed President Marcos Jr. is not open to dialogues regarding the impeachment trial of VP Duterte.
Castro reiterated that the impeachment is with the Senate and the process should be allowed to take its course, echoing Marcos' previous statement.
Malacañang has consistently stated Marcos is not involved in the impeachment process against Duterte, his former running mate.
