MANILA — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. stated on Thursday (06 Feb 2025) that the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio will have no negative impact on Philippine economy.
“I doubt it very much,” Marcos said when asked about the government’s preparedness for the impeachment.
“Wala naman akong nakikitang magiging effect na ganon,” the President added.
He emphasized that the government remains committed to its investment plans, strategies, and structural changes.
Meanwhile, Senate President Chiz Escudero said that no impeachment complaint would be tackled during the session break.
“If any action or event related to this happens, it will occur on June 2, when the Senate resumes after the elections. The decision will be made by the Senate majority,” the Senate press office said.
