The House good government and accountability panel has extended the contempt and accompanying detention order to lawyer Zuleika Lopez , chief-of-staff of Vice President Sara Duterte , from five to 10 days.
”“Why will you penalize Usec Lopez for an act of the President?” Duterte said, referring to one of the grounds that prompted the House panel to cite Lopez in contempt — Lopez’s alleged violation of due process by relieving former Education Undersecretary Secretary Gloria Mercado.The Vice President argued that Lopez should not be punished on supposed resignation of officials because the approval of the resignation rests with the Chief Executive, in this case, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
