MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang dismissed as “nonsensical and pompous” the suggestion of Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV for members of the  Kapa-Community Ministry International Inc. (KAPA) to file impeachment complaint against President Rodrigo Duterte for shutting down its operations because of its alleged involvement in investment scam.

“Other than saying that the latest ranting of the incorrigible shameless former military renegade is as usual nonsensical and pompous, it is undeserving of a response,” Presidential Spokesperson Salvdaor Panelo said in a statement.

Trillanes on Friday said members of Surigao del Sur-based religious corporation could file an impeachment complaint against Duterte and a class suit against the government.

Duterte earlier ordered an investigation and shut down Kapa operations for its alleged involvement in investment scams.
