*MANILA*, Philippines — Lawmakers from the Makabayan bloc have called out Vice President Sara Duterte again for filing a petition seeking to stop the impeachment trial against her, as it runs contrary to initial statements that the proceedings are a welcome development for her.
In a statement on Wednesday, Gabriela party-list Rep. Arlene Brosas noted that Duterte previously said that the impeachment may be a good venue to address issues thrown against her — only for her to backtrack and allegedly evade accountability.
