00:00President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. seemingly distances himself from the impeachment of

00:04Vice President Sara Duterte.

00:07Asked if he played a role in the House's decision, the president says Thursday, February 6,

00:11you're giving me too much credit.

00:13There is this constant implication that I am somehow giving instructions and making

00:18utos do this and do that and do that.

00:21That's not the case at all.

00:22That's not how it works, not at all.

00:25Not at all.

00:26Despite reporters' repeated questions about his involvement or influence over members

00:30of the lower chamber, he asserts he had no hand in the development.

00:33Didn't you talk to them about not signing what was transmitted to the Senate for him?

00:39I don't care about that.

00:41The congressman will decide what he will do.

00:44Because that is the responsibility of the House of Representatives.

00:49Marcos also shares his son, Ilocos Norte 1st District Representative Sandro Marcos, consulted

00:54him prior to signing the impeachment complaint.

00:57He says he advised the younger Marcos to do your duty but did not know Sandro was the

01:01first to sign the document.

01:03Meantime, Senate President Chiz Escudero clarifies the Senate will not hold the impeachment trial

01:08during the session break or until June 2.

01:10He argues the Senate court can only be convened in a plenary session.

01:14We will not hasten this, but we will also not delay it.

01:22We will not hasten this, but we will also not delay it.

01:26He adds special sessions are only held for urgent legislative matters such as acting

01:31on pending bills.
