ON PRES. MARCOS’ REMARKS THAT IMPEACHMENT IS A “WASTE OF TIME”
Bayan Chairperson and former Bayan Muna Rep. Teddy Casino
Holding government officials accountable, whether by impeachment or filing the appropriate cases in the Ombudsman or Sandiganbayan will never be a waste of time and resources. All the more we should hold government officials to account as this can lead to more wastage of public funds.
While we do not expect the President to intervene in the impeachment of VP Duterte, it is improper for him to dismiss efforts to hold her accountable through this process. In fact, not doing so is a betrayal of the public interest and the people’s trust
By saying that impeachment is only a waste of time, President Bongbong Marcos only deepens the culture of impunity, where public funds are questioned but the culprits are not held accountable. Should the impeachment complaint see the light of day, Marcos Jr. should let Congress decide its fate as a co-equal branch of the government.
Otherwise, discouraging impeachment would also seem that the President is still hoping to rekindle their alliance.
Ano to, Hello, Love Again?
