High Court ruling on impeach trial could save millions
Vice President Sara Duterte's spokesperson stated that the country could save millions of public funds if the Supreme Court dismisses the impeachment case against her.
The Office of the Vice President (OVP) spokesperson, Ruth Castelo, explained that the VP's camp is prepared to proceed with the impeachment trial, regardless of the Supreme Court's decision.
Castelo emphasized that dismissing the impeachment trial would be beneficial for the country financially, as it is considered technically flawed from the start.
The Supreme Court has requested comments and information from the Senate and the House of Representatives concerning the impeachment trial.
The High Court has consolidated the petitions filed by Vice President Duterte challenging the impeachment complaint's validity and constitutionality, along with similar petitions from other parties.
