Trillanes says impeachment vs VP Duterte ‘ripe’, necessary
Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV stated that Vice President Sara Duterte should be unseated due to alleged erratic behavior, questioning her fitness for the position.
Trillanes believes Duterte's alleged "topak" and "asal" (behavior) make her unfit for the position, especially as she is the constitutional successor to the presidency.
He warned that every Filipino should be terrified by her actions and that she is not in her right mind.
In an online briefing on November 23, Duterte said she has contracted an assassin to target President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez if the supposed plot to kill her were to succeed.
Trillanes acknowledged that Duterte is facing criminal charges for alleged death threats but emphasized that these legal actions do not automatically remove her from her current post.
The former senator now calls for an impeachment complaint against Duterte, stating it is ripe and necessary.
