DAVAO City Rep. Paolo Duterte has strongly criticized the ongoing impeachment moves against Vice President Sara Duterte, calling the efforts politically driven and unjust.
Duterte specifically called out Rep. Janette Garin and other lawmakers for what he described as a rushed and baseless impeachment process, warning that such actions threaten the country’s democratic foundations.
Davao City 1st District Rep. Paolo Duterte says in a statement:
“I am appalled and enraged by the desperate and politically motivated efforts to railroad the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.
The sinister maneuvering of certain lawmakers, led by Rep. Garin, to hastily collect signatures and push for the immediate approval and transmittal of this baseless impeachment case is a clear act of political persecution.
This administration is treading on dangerous ground.
If they were unfazed by the over one million rallying supporters of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, then they are blindly marching toward an even greater storm—one that could shake the very foundation of their rule.
The Filipino people will not sit idly by as this government undermines democracy and silences opposition through fabricated accusations.
If the Marcos administration thinks it can push this sham impeachment without consequence, they are gravely mistaken.
This is not just about VP Sara Duterte—this is about the will of the Filipino people. The growing discontent and frustration across the country will not be contained for long. Mark my words: this reckless abuse of power will not end in their favor.”
Duterte’s statement comes amid rising political tensions as the House of Representatives secures enough signatures to proceed with the impeachment case against the vice president.
