Duterte: Prove that I’m involved in Sereno ouster and I’ll resign
President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday denied involvement in the ouster of Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno.
He vowed to resign if anyone could prove that he was behind the removal of the chief magistrate from office.
“If there’s one congresswoman or congressman or a single justice who will say I talked to them, I can guarantee you I will resign,” the President told reporters in a press conference in Malacañang.
