Leni Robredo Willing To Face Any Impeachment Call

LENI ROBREDO – Vice President Leni Robredo’s camp said they are not afraid to face any impeachment complaints.

Following a previous article, the commissioner of Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) Atty. Manuelito Luna said their impeachment complaint against Vice President Leni Robredo was just a warning.

A few days ago, Iceland submitted a resolution to the United Nations Human Rights (UNHRC) to review the “drug war” campaign of President Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines.

The 74-year-old president said that Iceland does not understand the problems in his country.

Meanwhile, Vice President Leni Robredo’s camp issued a statement regarding the impeachment call.

Based on a report from ABS-CBN News, Robredo’s spokesperson Atty. Barry Gutierrez said that the vice president is willing to face any impeachment raps.

“Ang taong walang kasalanan, walang kinakatakot sa imbestigasyon…”

“Paulit-ulit na ring sinabi ni VP Leni, ‘Kung gusto niyo mag-file ng impeachment sige lang, ‘di ba? Handa akong harapin ‘yan.’ Kung tingin talaga ng ating mga kinatawan sa Kamara ay may batayan, e di handa siyang harapin,” he added.

According to the report, Leni Robredo’s spokesperson insisted that the vice president was just doing her job and find nothing wrong in supporting Iceland’s resolution.

“Alam naman niya na wala siyang maling ginagawa. Tapat niyang tinutupad ang kaniyang sinumpaan sa ilalim ng konstitusyon kaya sa tingin ko hindi dapat matakot kung wala namang maling ginagawa,” said Gutierrez.

Based on the report, Atty. Barry Gutierrez criticized the PACC chief for his statements, saying he was just seeking for attention.

“Feeling ko talaga ang punto talaga diyan eh para sumikat eh. Kasi ang impeachment, ‘yan ay isang proseso na nagsisimula sa kongreso. Eh sa pagkakaintindi ko hindi naman miyembro ng Kongreso itong taong ito,” Gutierrez said.
