MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Friday said he told Congress not to file an impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte.
Marcos made the pronouncement after being asked to confirm a text message he supposedly sent to House leaders which surfaced on Thursday.
“Well, it was actually a private communication but na-leak na (it got leaked). Yes. Because that’s really my opinion,” said Marcos.
“This is not important. This does not make a difference to even one single Filipino life. So why waste time on it?” he asked.
Marcos further pointed out that an impeachment complaint would only “tie down” both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
