VP downplays new impeach raps, slams senator
The Philippine Star
|February 08, 2026
Vice President Sara Duterte dismissed yesterday the newly filed impeachment complaints of Akbayan party-list against her, alleging that they are politically motivated and tied to Sen.Risa Hontiveros' supposed presidential ambitions in 2028.
In a video message, Duterte questioned the credibility of Akbayan, the party-list of which Hontiveros is a member.
"Akbayan lacks the credibility to endorse or file an impeachment complaint. Their leader has repeatedly publicly stated her intention to run for president - a clear indication of the political motive behind their actions," she said.
Duterte also cited a previous speech and interview of Hontiveros, showing a clip in her video message.
"While his daughter is still in power, our fight will not be easy. While VP Sara is in power, the threat of a full-blown Duterte comeback is still a very real and present danger.
For one, they are supported by one major superpower, China," Hontiveros said in the interview.
