TIANGCO ON DUTERTE’S IMPEACHMENT: MAHIRAP MAG YES
WATCH: Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco says it was difficult for him to vote in favor of impeaching Vice President Sara Duterte, saying the proceedings would not immediately solve the public’s problems, including rising prices linked to the Middle East crisis.
However, Tiangco said alleged discrepancies in Duterte’s Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) convinced him to vote yes, stressing that impeachment would give the Vice President a proper venue to explain the declarations.
“So yung pag boto ng yes is hindi pag husga, kung hindi yun nalang kasi yung natitirang paraan para sila ay mabigyan ng pagkakataon sa tamang venue na ipaliwanag bakit naging ganun yung deklarasyon nila doon sa SALN,” said Tiangco.

Ngayon na nakumpirma na ng ICC ang warrant ni Bato, please lang, Sec. Jonvic a.k.a Mr. Dragnet, sana naman hindi mo na patakasin si Bato dyan sa Senate.

IMPEACHED! 255 VOTES IN FAVOR. The Senate now must fulfill its constitutional duty to convene forthwith as an impeachment court once the Articles of Impeachment are transmitted.
