MANILA, Philippines – Months-long speculations of an impeachment effort against Vice President Sara Duterte would not die down but ranking officials in the House of Representatives downplayed them as “rumor-mongering” that needs to stop.Some congressional leaders who faced the media in the House-sanctioned press briefing on Wednesday, August 21, however, said there are no impeachment talks in the lower chamber.
“It’s such a waste to spend time on senseless talks, and they don’t materialize,” House Deputy Majority Leader Janette Garin added in Filipino. “I haven’t heard talks of impeachment, and I don’t see my colleagues about it.”House Assistant Majority Leader Francisco Paolo Ortega questioned the accuracy of the information received by the Vice President.
“I really don’t know where the Vice President got the information,” Tulfo said on Tuesday. “Personally, I have no idea.”It was in November 2023 when House Deputy Minority Leader France Castro said there were informal discussions about Duterte’s possible impeachment, although she later said these conversations were still “premature.”The political coalition that Marcos has built for the 2025 midterm elections does not include Duterte nor her regional party Hugpong ng Pagbabago.
