VP Duterte claims to have list of Marcos’ ‘impeachable offenses’
MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Sara Duterte has claimed that she has a list of impeachable offenses that could remove President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. from office.
“Si BBM [President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.]? Sabihin ko sa inyo, may listahan ako ng limang bagay na impeachable offense niya, pero sa tingin niyo, papasa diyan sa House? Of course, hindi, ‘di ba,” she said in a press briefing on Friday.
