Senate President Francis Escudero condemned attempts to use the impeachment process for political revenge, emphasizing that the Senate is a constitutional body meant to uphold justice.
His statement came after the Senate voted to archive the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte, following the Supreme Court’s ruling that declared the complaint invalid.
Escudero stressed the importance of respecting final court decisions to maintain legal order and avoid political deadlock.
He criticized those who reject the Supreme Court’s rulings, calling such actions arrogance and a violation of the law.
Escudero reaffirmed his commitment to uphold the rule of law and defend the judiciary’s authority as Senate President and a legal professional.
