President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will not entertain any dialogue related to the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte, Malacañang clarified Tuesday, June 17.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the President is firm on not discussing the issue with lawmakers.
“So, muli, uulitin ko po — hindi po open ang Pangulo sa anumang diyalogo patungkol sa impeachment trial or proceedings,” said Castro.
She added that while Marcos may engage in talks with Congress leaders on legislative matters, this excludes impeachment discussions.
“Maaari lang po siyang makipag-diyalogo kung hindi na maganda ang sitwasyon patungkol sa mga isyu sa bills, sa batas — but not with regard to the impeachment issues.”IMT
