Senate President Escudero condemns the House of Representatives' impeachment of Sara Duterte as driven by political ambition!
Senate President Escudero, fed up with the incessant accusations from the House members, no longer conceals his true feelings about the impeachment of the Vice President, launching a full-scale attack, accusing the House of disregarding constitutional order, using Congress as a playground to pursue political enemies out of personal hatred and political ambition, vowing not to allow the Senate to become an accomplice to these people.
"To the House, I say, do not let yourself be used by the blind hatred and ambition of a few people, who act recklessly, seriously abusing their discretion, violating the due process rights that the Supreme Court itself has defined according to the Constitution."
Escudero strongly criticized the House members who attacked the Supreme Court's ruling, believing they held double standards on the law, as the same cases, these people did not oppose the Supreme Court's ruling on the Francisco case, but kept insisting on the impeachment of Vice President Sara.
"No need to say, the procedural restrictions on the impeachment process have already been discussed in the Francisco case, was it on May 9th at noon? Did anyone object? No one!"
Escudero refuted the accusation that respecting the Supreme Court's ruling equates to protecting Sara Duterte from accountability.
Escudero emphasized that it is necessary to ask the House members who are trying to defy the Supreme Court: "Are you truly in favor of accountability, or are you just opposing Sara Duterte? Are you really supporting and wanting to maintain the Constitution, or are you just disliking the Vice President of the Philippines?"
