Panelo says impeachment complaints against VP Duterte won't benefit the public

inquirer.net

Former chief presidential legal counsel Salvador Panelo stated that the public will not benefit from any impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte. He emphasized that those in power prioritize their own interests over the needs of the people. Two impeachment complaints have been filed against Duterte, citing issues like betrayal of public trust and corruption. Panelo described these complaints as part of a political agenda and confirmed that the Duterte camp is not currently negotiating with senators for acquittal. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. previously instructed Congress to refrain from pursuing impeachment against Duterte, calling it unimportant. Ongoing investigations have also looked into the alleged misuse of confidential funds by the Office of the Vice President.
