The “intent” of President Marcos not to step down from the presidency and to perpetuate himself in power led to an impeachment case that was designed to remove her as contender in 2028, Vice President Sara Duterte claimed. (Video courtesy of RT International)
00:00Well, it's all about the refusal or the intent of President Marcos.
00:11It is the intent of President Marcos not to step down.
00:14He wants to perpetuate himself or his family in power.
00:20It is clear from the moves of his administration against political opponents.
00:27And in fact, one of his relatives, and this is a personal knowledge of mine, has expressed that he wants to run for president.
00:39This all started with the People's Initiative, wherein they wanted to amend the Constitution to shift into a parliamentary form of government where the prime minister is not voted by popular choice.
00:56When they failed in this, they started the impeachment.
01:01And clearly, evidence shows that the members of the House of Representatives, many of them who signed, did not read the articles of impeachment.
01:14And one particular member of the House of Representatives already said publicly that there was money in exchange for the signatures in the articles of impeachment.
01:28Because I am the frontrunner in the presidential race in 2028.
01:35The survey shows that.
01:37And I think they want to eliminate the frontrunner.
01:40Do you think there might be a connection between the detention of your father and the impeachment process against you?
01:49I believe so.
01:50Yes.
01:51They think that if they take out a former president, they will weaken me because it's one brand, it's one family.
02:10They don't want to be one parent who will weaken you because it might be one parent who will weaken you.
02:21But if they pay for that, they will weaken you.
02:23They would weaken you because they will weaken you because they can't be one parent.
02:26They will weaken you because they don't come to me because they're in charge of you because they won't come.
