Jinggoy opposes VP Sara impeachment: Will just divide nation, distract from urgent issues

(POLITIKO) Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada has expressed support for the call of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to the House of Representatives not to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte.

“Sang-ayon ako sa hindi pagtuloy ng impeachment,” said Estrada.

“There are many pressing problems in our country that need to be addressed not only by the two highest officials but also by us, lawmakers,” he pointed out.

The senator explained that impeachment is “a political process, not a judicial one.”

“Impeachment will only sow divisiveness and distract us from the urgent and pressing issues we must collectively address,” said Estrada.

“Impeachment moves should be firmly rooted in the principles of justice and accountability, not personal or partisan motives,’ he added.
