Marcos hosts Christmas dinner for lawmakers as impeachment complaints against Duterte unfold

rappler.com

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. hosted a Christmas dinner for lawmakers on December 4, 2024, at Malacañang. During the event, Speaker Martin Romualdez presented a manifesto showing the House's full support for Marcos amid ongoing impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte. The dinner's timing coincides with the impeachment drama involving Duterte, who has faced allegations of misconduct. Despite this backdrop, House officials stated the gathering was planned prior to the impeachment complaints and focused on fellowship. Marcos reportedly expressed opposition to Duterte's impeachment in a leaked appeal to lawmakers. This has created uncertainty around the impeachment process, even as some congressmen insisted the dinner was solely about thanking members for legislative support.
