VP welcomes impeach move
By Nidz Godino
“Based on my understanding of my lawyer’s explanation, I can skip NBI’s investigation and just submit letter or affidavit. ..second, we have thanksgiving activities on Dec. 11,” Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio said.on advice of her lawyers, she will not attend National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)’s probe into her remarks against President Marcos, First Lady Liza and Speaker Martin Romualdez on Dec. 11.
After activities, Duterte would be flying home to Davao City for interment of her uncle.
NBI Director Jaime Santiago said probe would proceed without her.
Duterte also welcomed impeachment moves against her, saying proceedings may “finally bring peace” amid political and legal storm that landed in her lap after she locked horns with Marcos administration.
She said impeachment move was “O” because it left out her staff from Office of the Vice President and former colleagues in Department of Education (DepEd).
“I welcome development finally, impeachment case they have been talking about since last year has already been filed,” Duterte said.
“Impeachment case is OK because I’m the only one being investigated and attacked…this is to finally answer everything they’re accusing me of,” she stressed.
Duterte is facing two impeachment complaints filed days apart last week, with first one citing 24 Articles of Impeachment covering alleged violations of 1987 Constitution, starting from when Duterte was Davao City mayor in 2007 up to the time she was elected Vice President in 2022 and served as secretary of DepEd in concurrent capacity.
She addressed support thrown against her impeachment by Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) and said 110-year-old Christian church only seeks “peace that could clear the way for prosperity.”
“I understand why INC wants peace in our country because they know that if there’s peace, prosperity will follow…that’s what all Filipinos want , to have peace and continuous prosperity for our country,” she said.
