MANILA, Philippines — It would be a grave neglect of duty should concurrent senators fail to dwell on the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte before the chamber transition into 20th Congress.
This was according to Deputy Minority Leader Sen. Risa Hontiveros who emphasized that there’s no reason for the Senate leadership to delay the proceedings.
“Bad precedent kung palagpasin namin, at ng Senado, hindi lang ang chance — pero ang responsibilidad na dinggin ang isang impeachment complaint na may kinalaman sa pag singil ng accountability sa paggastos ng pera ng bayan,” said Hontiveros in a Kapihan sa Senado forum on Wednesday.
