House Speaker Alvarez said he is studying the possibility of filing an impeachment rap against the Vice President.
SPEAKER ALVAREZ – House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez expressed that he is studying the possibility of filing an impeachment complaint against Vice Pres. Leni Robredo.
The video message of the Vice President before the United Nations during a meeting held in Vienna, Austria has undeniably sparked reactions from the people. Recently, a news report in Manila Times entailing that House Speaker Alvarez studies filing an impeachment complaint against her broke in.
“If I find enough evidence to prosecute here, we have to see if it can stand trial before the Senate,” the House Speaker told CNN based on the news report.
According to Alvarez, this is the only time that a government official who sits on the top position “brazenly maligned” the Philippines internationally. He then raised a question on the possible effects of the action of the Vice President.
Based on the report, the threat of filing an impeachment complaint against the Vice President happened on the same day that the House Speaker claimed that Vice Pres. Robredo may possibly be the person behind the first impeachment complaint against Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
It was not only Speaker Alvarez who claimed that the Vice President could be behind the impeachment complaint against the 71-year-old President but as well as presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella.
According to the news report, the one who filed the impeachment complaint against Pres. Duterte, Magdalo Rep. Gary Alejano, reacted on the statement of the House Speaker.
According to the said Magdalo Representative, it is the House Speaker’s way of dragging the issue away from the President and “cover his crimes” in the war on drugs campaign.
Furthermore, Alejano said that the move of filing an impeachment complaint against the Vice President due to what she has expressed before the United Nation shows that criticisms are not welcome under the Duterte Administration. He tagged it as “a mark of a dictator.”
Based on the report, the Magdalo Representative said that Pres. Duterte should be removed from office for hidden wealth, for the death of 7,000 drug suspects, and the death of 1,400 people who were killed by the so-called Davao Death Squad during Pres. Duterte’s term as the Davao City Mayor.
It was just recently when news reports entailing the filing of the first impeachment complaint against the 71-year-old President broke in. Based on a previous news report, the move has sparked reactions from people most especially on the social media.
