Sara: Impeach process a chance to defend self
The Philippine Star
|December 14, 2024
While undergoing impeachment proceedings is an "inconvenience," Vice President Sara Duterte said she is ready to welcome it, as it can give her the chance to defend herself in a proper venue.
-
Duterte is reportedly expecting the impeachment effort to proceed in earnest in the early part of 2025.
"I believe, and of course this is just my personal sentiment-our people in the Office of the Vice President and some other supporters have a different sentiment - that this will be a way or an avenue for me to properly answer the accusations against me," Duterte said in Filipino in a chance interview yesterday with local reporters in Davao City.
"It is an inconvenience because, of course if you're facing an impeachment complaint, you have to hire lawyers and support staff, of course you have to pay them.
But otherwise, for me, this is OK, because I can answer the allegations," the Vice President said.
