The attempted impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte by the Marcos-Romualdez duo against Sara Duterte has been deemed the 'dumbest' in Philippine history due to its costly nature and ultimate failure. The Senate's adjournment until June 2, four months before the midterm elections, effectively killed the attempt.
OUT of the eight impeachment attempts against high officials in our history, the Marcos - Romualdez plot against Vice President Sara Duterte is the dumbest. It was also extremely costly both in terms of the finances they mobilized and its political cost for the duo.It is dead in the water, with the Senate adjourning starting today until June 2, four months before the midterm elections in May, and a mere four weeks before a new, 20th Congress assumes power.
Viral in the media — but so far unproved — has been the rumor that the 215 representatives who voted for Sara's impeachment were promised that P50 million in government dole out moneys and P100 million in public works funds for each of their districts. There are unverified rumors that each representative was also given P10 million in cash.
