PACC Commissioner Says VP Leni Robredo Impeachment Complaint Remark A ‘Warning’
LENI ROBREDO – Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) chief said their impeachment complaint against VP Leni Robredo is a warning.
Filipina politician Leni Robredo is the current Vice President in the Republic of the Philippines.
Robredo has been so vocal about her disagreement on President Rodrigo Duterte’s campaign against illegal drugs.
Based on a report from ABS-CBN News, Iceland previously submitted a resolution to the United Nations (UN) to investigate the “drug war” in the Philippines.
18 countries voted “yes,” 15 abstentions, and 14 opposed the resolution.
VP Leni Robredo said she would welcome the UN investigators in the country to review the alleged violation.
The commissioner of the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission, Atty. Manuelito Luna reacted to the statement of Leni Robredo.
He said an impeachment complaint may be filed against the vice president for supporting the UN resolution in seeking to evaluate the “drug war.”
According to the report, PACC commissioner clarified on his recent interview at ANC’s Early Edition that he was just warning Robredo.
“It’s a warning so she can also think it over, that she has to temper her statements. Although I respect her, she’s a politician, she’s a lawyer like me but she has to temper her statements…”
“Do not embarrass our government internationally. You can always ventilate matters within and we can debate all day, all night without accusing our government of wrongdoings without substantial basis,” he added.
Based on the report, PACC commissioner said Leni Robredo’s statement regarding the resolution was a “betrayal of public trust.”
“I cannot sit idly by while our Vice President is lambasting our government, taking a position different from our President and says that it’s okay and making it appear that the government is into human rights abuses. That’s some bullshit. Excuse me for my words,” said Luna.
Meanwhile, Iceland’s resolution was only criticized by President Duterte. The 74-year-old chief executive said their nation does not understand the problems in the Philippines.
