Sara thanks defense team for SC impeachment ruling
Vice President Sara Duterte expressed gratitude to her defense team and supporters following the Supreme Court's unanimous 13-0 decision to dismiss the articles of impeachment against her as unconstitutional.
She specifically thanked her legal team for standing by her and acknowledged those who spoke out against what she termed persecution.
Duterte extended her appreciation to parents, children, and silent supporters who offered prayers for justice.
Following the Supreme Court's ruling, she asserted that the Philippines deserves better leaders, implying a critique of those whose 'greed' could harm the nation.
The Supreme Court cited violations of the one-year rule and the Vice President's right to due process in its dismissal of the impeachment articles.
Lawyers have filed a petition seeking to cite Larry Gadon, Rep. Percival Cendaña, and Richard Heydarian for indirect contempt over their remarks on the SC ruling.
