Visayas group opposes Sara impeachment

The Manila Times

Visayas group opposes Sara impeachment  A political support group in the Visayas opposes the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte, calling it politically motivated and legally questionable.  In a press conference on June 10, 2025, the Diehard Duterte Supporters (DDS) Sara All Confederation declared its continued support for the vice president, who faces trial in the Senate after the House of Representatives transmitted the Articles of impeachment. Lawyer Glenn Chong, the group’s legal adviser, questioned the integrity of the process, alleging that some lawmakers were paid to sign the complaint.  Chong also argued that the case should have been concluded within the 19th Congress, noting that the transition to the 20th Congress may render the process invalid.

00:00Point of view with respect to the impeachment of Vice President Sao Duterte,

00:05this is political persecution.

00:11Look at the law field.

00:13Why does she have to be impeached?

00:16How did they secure that impeachment?

00:20There's allegation that the congressmen have been able to get in the impeachment complaint.

00:28Now, that constitutes a prejudicial question.

00:32Kasi pwede namang i-erase it as an issue in the Supreme Court.

00:36That the impeachment case filed against me was the product of a poisonous tree.

00:43Diba?

00:44Kasi pinayaran sila.

00:45Calicipate proof.

00:46That's one area.

00:48But at this point in time that it has been filed,

00:50they're said, marami ang maiingay, diba?

00:54Yung mga, ang tawag ko sa kanina, yung mga padal na tuloy.

00:58Banal na tuloy because they speak as though they're holier than thou.

01:03And then tuloy because they only look at one perspective.

01:08What I mean is,

01:10if i-impeach natin yung Vice President on the ground of Miss Suzer Confidential Fund,

01:17let's pick up also yung sa-presidente,

01:20which is a far bigger amount, diba?

01:22Ah, ilan nang bang inakusan natin kay Vice President?

01:27125 million.

01:28Si Marcos, more than 56 billion.

01:31That's almost 50 times, or I say 45 times,

01:35more than 45 times in terms of amount and gravity.

01:39Now, the other one, take a look.

01:41Tingnan nyo yung ebidensya ng prosecution.

01:44Diba may isang congressman, sinabi niya na,

01:47mga pangalan daw ng senador

01:50are some of the beneficiaries doon sa liquidation ng confidential funds.

01:55It does not prove malice or wrongdoing

01:59simply because the name is similar to Rebilia.

02:02Can you conclude na just because a person like Nancy Rebilia

02:09is similar to the name of Senator Rebilia,

02:13spurious yung liquidation?

02:15It does not prove.

02:17There's no connection.

02:19So you see,

02:21pinalabas nila na ang mga liquidation papers

02:23also bear the name of senators

02:25or names similar to senators.

02:28That does not prove anything,

02:30any wrongdoing at all.

02:32So you can only see na yung motivo nila,

02:36I mean, they're throwing everything

02:38including the kitchen sink on the vice president.

02:42But at the same time,

02:43conveniently,

02:46losing over yung sa presidente,

02:48which is more,

02:51which is bigger in terms of amount.

02:53So ito ngayon,

02:54the impeachment is already there in the Senate.

02:58They've scheduled it on June 11th,

03:00the last day of session.

03:02After that,

03:03they adjourned semi-daye.

03:05When you say semi-daye,

03:06without a day.

03:07That's Latin for without a day.

03:09There's no day set

03:11for when they will convene

03:12because they will convene

03:13as the 20th Congress

03:14on the 4th Monday of July.

03:16I believe it should not cross over.

03:22So pagkatapos ng 19th Congress,

03:24because it was finally the 19th Congress,

03:27the process must take place

03:29and be concluded

03:30within that same Congress.

03:32Because the 20th Congress

03:34is an entirely different Congress.

03:36Diba?

03:36But they are saying,

03:38we exact accountability

03:40through the representatives

03:41of the people.

03:43Look at that term,

03:44through the representatives

03:45of the people.

03:46The 19th Congress

03:48represents representatives

03:51of the people.

03:51Pagkatapos ng June 30th,

03:53their mandate ends.

03:55Diba ba?

03:56Kaya na meron tayong eleksyon eh.

03:58Because you need eleksyon

03:59na dinagaya ni George Garcia.

04:01That's another topic later.

04:02Kaya na meron tayong

04:06regular eleksyon

04:08because all public officials

04:10must base that final accountability

04:12na ang taong bayan

04:13ang mag-uhusga.

04:14Kaya na meron tayong

04:44kaya na meron tayong

04:45logon tayong
