However, currently, not only an impeachment complaint against Vice Pres. Sara Duterte but as well as against Pres. Bongbong Marcos will possibly be filed in the House of Representatives. There are also talks that an impeachment may be filed against the President over the unprogrammed funds in the 2026 national budget.
On the possible filing of a fresh impeachment complaint against Vice Pres. Sara Duterte, Malacañang previously claimed that Pres. Bongbong Marcos will not interfere. But, the Palace clarified that the Chief Executive wants those who have committed wrongs to the government to be held accountable.
Amid the impeachment talks, Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco clarified that he will not support a possible fresh impeachment complaint against Vice Pres. Sara Duterte. Based on a report on PhilStar, he stressed that former House Budget Appropriations Committee chairman Zaldy Co has yet to be held accountable.
Co is considered as one of the alleged big role players in the supposed multi-billion flood control corruption in the country. According to Tiangco, the Congress will allegedly be a hyprocrite to focus on running after Vice Pres. Duterte without having to hold its member accountable.
Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco is the husband of a cousin of both Pres. Bongbong Marcos and former House Speaker Martin Romualdez. He has been vocal about his criticisms against the government over several issue.
Amid the flood control mess in the country, Cong. Toby Tiangco believes that Marcos Jr. is allegedly not involved in the flood control corruption citing one encounter during their family lunch.
