What people should know about impeachment

While the pundits are busy focusing on the war in the Middle East and the oil crisis which is now disrupting the world economy, and while the people are waiting with bated breath on how the ICC shall decide on the issue of confirming or not confirming the charges against past president Rodrigo Duterte, the national attention is on the impeachment (again) of the vice president.

- Atty. Josephus B. Jimenez

There is nothing wrong when Filipinos are too fixated on the impeachment because it is important for a nation to be politically aware of the latest developments in the political and legal horizon. That being said, it should be stressed, however, that there are fundamental things that Filipinos should know before opening their mouths and before posting outrageous remarks on social media.

Those who have the audacity to post draconian declarations about the pending impeachment cases before the House of Representatives are better advised to study the principles on impeachment first, before posting some trivial inanities on social media. There is too much garbage on the internet that propagates fallacies and a number of argumentiad populi.
