Marcos urged not to interfere in VP Duterte’s impeachment case
House Deputy Minority leader Rep. France Castro urged lawmakers to take the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte seriously and for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. not to interfere with the process, emphasizing Congress's constitutional duty.
Castro expressed optimism that an impeachment complaint could be transmitted directly from the House to the Senate if 103 endorsers are secured, bypassing committee deliberations.
She suggested the Senate could then promptly tackle the case or call for a special session if necessary.
Former ACT Teachers Rep. Antonio Tinio echoed Castro's call, warning against allowing technicalities or election matters to obstruct justice and the pursuit of accountability.
