Malacañang yesterday dismissed claims that the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte is a political maneuver aimed at derailing her
Senate President Francis Escudero takes his oath as presiding officer of the impeachment court for the trial of Vice President Sara Duterte. Malacañang yesterday dismissed claims that the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte is a political maneuver aimed at derailing her 2028 presidential bid.
Senator Zubiri earlier claimed that efforts to impeach Duterte were politically motivated and intended to remove her from public service ahead of the 2028 elections, where she remains a strong presidential contender based on current surveys. As this developed, House impeachment prosecutor and Iloilo Third District Rep. Lorenz Defensor said Zubiri’s “witch hunt” remark was “unbecoming of a senator-judge.”
