VP Duterte on impeachment: House lawmaker has recordings of talks
Vice President Sara Duterte confirmed her awareness of impending impeachment proceedings, stating that a House of Representatives member possesses recordings of lawmakers discussing such a complaint.
She declined to reveal who informed her, citing the confidence of her friends in the House.
Duterte mentioned that discussions about an impeachment case have been ongoing for several months and are not a new development.
The Vice President noted that one lawmaker has publicly stated that the impeachment would focus on her alleged use of P125 million in confidential funds in 2022, which was not part of the General Appropriations Act.
She expressed surprise that grounds for impeachment, including alleged misuse of public funds, technical malversation, and violation of the Constitution, have already been declared despite the absence of proof of wrongdoing.
