Lawmakers Trim Impeachment Charges Against Vice President, Cendaña Warns Accountability Remains
Representative Perci Cendaña said the House panel’s removal of three impeachment articles against Vice President Sara Duterte is a tactic to speed up the case, not a shield from responsibility.
In a radio interview, Rep. Perci Cendaña explained that the decision to drop three of the four articles was intended to achieve a swift resolution. He cautioned that dragging the process out could benefit the vice president by diminishing public interest and deterring witnesses. Cendaña emphasized that the remaining charge still holds the VP accountable. The discussion was aired on dzBB’s program hosted by Nimfa Ravelo and Isa Avendaño-Umali.
Why it matters
The move could affect the pace and outcome of a high-profile impeachment, influencing political accountability in the Philippines.
