MANILA- Critics of President Rodrigo Duterte are free to seek his ouster, Malacañang said Friday, even as it asserted that the chief executive has not committed any impeachable offense.
“The Office of the President cannot and will not dissuade those individuals and groups, including left-leaning ones, to initiate such an action before the Congress, as the same is recognized by our Constitution,” he said. Fuming over the possibility, Duterte threatened to jail those who would seek his ouster, a statement that Panelo described as “righteous indignation.”
Panelo maintained that Duterte has not committed any impeachable offense and that plans to unseat the chief executive won’t prosper.
