Estrada says Congress lacks time to address impeachment bid against VP Duterte

Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada stated that Congress likely lacks sufficient time to address the impeachment bid against Vice President Sara Duterte. A second complaint is expected to be filed by the group Bagong Alyansang Makabayan. Estrada noted that Congress will adjourn on December 18 and not resume until January 13, making it difficult to expedite the impeachment process. He expressed doubt about calling a special session to discuss the complaints. Estrada also shared his opposition to impeachment, citing past experiences with his father's impeachment and the ousting of former President Ferdinand Marcos, suggesting that such actions did not improve the lives of Filipinos.
