IF we were a parliamentary system, instead of a presidential one, Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. would probably have fallen after the Supreme Court dismissed the House impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte for being defective. The House committed a serious mistake, and it must be made to pay for it. Rightly or wrongly, many saw Speaker Martin Romualdez as the one mainly responsible for initiating the defective complaint.
I remember an old lady on the witness stand trying to explain to the court why she had agreed to put her thumb mark on a document she did not quite understand; she said she was told it was the law, and she had to obey even though she did not understand.The only reason the court unanimously voided the impeachment complaint was because it was the fourth such complaint filed against the respondent in a year, and the Constitution prohibits it.
Long Can BBM Stand The Fallout From The Duterte Crisis?
