The recent public spat between President Marcos and Vice President Duterte has become a concerning distraction from the pressing issues facing the nation.
While political tensions and rivalries are not uncommon, the open threats of violence and calls for impeachment threaten to further divide the country at a time when unity and cooperation are sorely needed.
President Marcos’s call for restraint, urging lawmakers to steer clear of pursuing an impeachment process against the vice president, exemplifies statesmanship. He correctly points out the potential for such a process to be a significant distraction from pressing national issues, particularly the urgent needs of communities still recovering from recent typhoons.
Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile on Saturday urged for sobriety in a social media post, advising against fostering divisiveness: “We have to keep our heads and our equanimity for the sake of our country’s peace and order so that we can move on as one people in one country under God.
