Presidential sister, Senator Imee Marcos, cast her vote with a resounding “yes” to the motion to archive the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte, as she boldly criticized the members of the House of Representatives.
During her interpellation on Wednesday, August 6, the senator branded Congress as an institution acting as a “Supremer Court,” and calling out a lawmaker described as a “dambuhalang sanggol.”
“Bakit naman, ngayon ay naging tagabantay na lamang sila ng humihiyaw na dambuhalang sanggol. Ginawa ng bonjing na armas ang impeachment. Ang dating para sana sa kaayusan ng sistema, ginagawang pampagulo - panakot at sandata laban sa mga kinaiinggitan, kinaiinsecuran ng mga lulong sa kapangyarihan,” Sen. Marcos expressed.
“Galangin naman natin ang Korte Suprema, wag tayong umastang SUPREMER Court. Supremest pa - wala namang ganon ah!” she added.
To the senator, the voice of the Supreme Court is also the voice of the Constitution. And anyone who overrides it only has one tone: ambition.
“Kaya naman, magmove on na tayo, magtrabaho at wag konsintihin ang isang spoiled na bonjing. Wag nang busugin ng pabor, wag nang pumayag dahil [may] pabuya. Wag tayo magpalaki ng buwaya, baby pa nga ang tawag - lulong na,” she stressed.
Speaking to all congressmen, the presidential sister suggested replacing the officials voted for by the congressmen, referring to House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
“Ayaw paawat ng iba sa kakaflex! Ano kaya kung ang Speaker niyo na lang ang palitan niyo? KAYA NIYO 'YAN! At dahil dito, bumoboto ako ng malakas na OO!” she said in closing.
The Senate archived the Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte on Wednesday evening, August 6, with 19 affirmative votes, four negative votes, and one abstention.
