Marcoleta: Advancing the impeachment will only end up in taking sides
SAGIP Party-list Rep. Rodante Marcoleta defended Vice President Sara Duterte at the Iglesia Ni Cristo's (INC) "National Rally for Peace," calling impeachment moves against her divisive and a waste of government time.
Marcoleta stated that conflict among government leaders negatively impacts the Filipino people and the nation's stability.
He clarified that the INC is not opposed to impeachment itself, as it is provided for in the Constitution, but objects to proceedings that do not follow legal procedures.
Marcoleta also emphasized that advancing the impeachment would lead to taking sides and hinder the resolution of major national problems such as high commodity prices, low-quality education, and criminality.
He reiterated the INC's appeal for the government to implement effective and orderly service and solve poverty.
