Vice President Sara Duterte has stated her willingness to confront the three impeachment complaints filed against her, asserting her innocence and readiness to face legal proceedings.
Vice President Sara Duterte stated her readiness to confront the three impeachment complaints lodged against her, emphasizing her adherence to the law. In a '24 Oras' report on Wednesday, Duterte asserted that she had not transgressed any legal boundaries and was prepared to face the proceedings. She indicated that legal counsel was on standby to defend her should the complaints advance to an impeachment trial.
Furthermore, she revealed that her father, former president Rodrigo Duterte, was willing to act as one of her lawyers. 'Well, I am confident that I did not break any law. I did not do anything illegal… Kapag nandiyan na ang kaso, haharapin pa rin namin, (When the cases are there, then we will face it.)’ said the Vice President. Duterte is currently grappling with three impeachment complaints alleging the improper utilization of P612 million in confidential funds by the Office of the Vice President. Previously, Duterte had expressed a welcoming stance towards the complaints, contending that it was preferable to be the sole target of scrutiny. 'So, okay din 'yung impeachment case dahil ako lang ang tinitira doon, ako lang iniimbestigahan noon. Ako lang ang inaatake ng impeachment case. Hindi na kasali ang nga kasamahan ko sa OVP and mga dati kong kasama sa DepEd. Masagot na ng final kung ano 'yung mga inaakusa nila sa akin,’ she said. (So, it’s okay they filed an impeachment case since I’ll only be the one who's being attacked. I’ll only be the one who's being investigated. I’ll only be the one who is being attacked in the impeachment case. My staff in the Office of the Vice President and Department of Education will no longer be involved. I can finally answer what they are accusing me of.) —Jiselle Anne Casucian/LDF, GMA Integrated New
