President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and the lawmakers did not discuss the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte during their meeting in Malacañang.
House Good Government and Public Accountability chairperson Joel Chua said this in an interview with Unang Balita on Thursday, December 5, after the Presidential Communications Office said last night that they gathered for a “fellowship” in Malacañang.
In the interview, Chua said that more than 200 House of Representatives members attended the “fellowship,” which he noted concluded at around 8 p.m.
“Wala pong napagusapang impeachment. Nagpunta lang po dun kasama ‘yung ibang congressman ata party leaders, binigay lang sa Presidente yung resolusyon na ipasa ng House expressing full support to the President,” Chua said.
“Pagkatapos po nung nagsalita po ang Pangulo, nagpasalamat sa mga miyembro at in-encourage na magtrabaho lang. Yun lang po. Tapos po ay nagkaroon ng konting picture taking, nagkaroon ng dinner,” Chua added.
On Thursday, House members issued a manifesto reaffirming their unwavering support for Marcos “at all costs.”
Marcos had previously stated that he does not support any impeachment efforts against Duterte, his running mate in the 2022 elections. He also confirmed a text message in which he urged lawmakers not to file an impeachment complaint against the Vice President. (TCSP)
