Duterte Impeachment Case: Senate Resolution Sparks Heated Debate
A draft resolution to dismiss the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte is currently circulating within the Philippine Senate. Senator Imee Marcos has confirmed having seen the draft resolution, stating, “One of the many drafts, na iba iba ang pakay – parang pangatlo yan sa nakita ko, maraming versions...” However, Senator Koko Pimentel expressed skepticism, highlighting what he sees as flawed logic and inaccuracies in the document's constitutional references. He stated that there is a "Big chance not authentic." Senator Bong Go, a member of the Duterte bloc, indicated he has no concerns about the impeachment trial proceeding. Senate President Chiz Escudero also addressed the situation, emphasizing his commitment to impartial decision-making, unaffected by any perceived threats. "Hindi ako gumagala at nagpapasiya base sa takot," he stated. The conflicting viewpoints and the potential impact on the impeachment trial make this a developing story of significant public interest.
