MANILA — Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio reiterated on Friday (Feb. 7, 2025) that she is still “seriously” considering running for a position in 2028, despite her impeachment.
“Wala pa tayo dyan… Nasabi ko naman na we are seriously considering, but it’s difficult to decide without the numbers, so kailangan malaman ‘yung surveys and numbers,” Duterte-Carpio said in a press conference.
Before the adjournment of the session, more than 200 members of the House of Representatives approved her impeachment.
The articles of impeachment were then transmitted to the Senate. However, the chamber was unable to act on them, as they were not endorsed to the plenary on Wednesday.
Duterte-Carpio, meanwhile, downplayed the impact of her impeachment, saying it is more painful to be left by a partner than to be removed from office.
“Mas masakit pa maiwan ng boyfriend o girlfriend kaysa ma-impeach ka ng House of Representatives,” the Vice President quipped.
