Kumakalat ang isang YouTube video na nagsasabing panalo na raw si Vice President Sara Duterte sa kanyang impeachment case dahil sa "unmodified opinion" na ibinigay ng Commission on Audit. Mali ito.
A YouTube video claims that Vice President Sara Duterte has already 'won' ahead of the impeachment trial following COA's "unmodified opinion" on its 2024 annual audit report. This is false.
A Facebook reel is falsely claiming that Vice President Sara Duterte is having the same fate as Fernando Lopez Sr., the vice president of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr., who was supposedly impeached in 1966.
Facebook and YouTube posts claim that the Ombudsman has convicted Vice President Sara Duterte and ordered her imprisonment. This is false.
Several Facebook pages and a YouTube channel claimed that the Supreme Court has removed Vice President Sara Duterte and Senate President Francis “Chiz” Escudero from office. This is false.
In 2015, GMA News reported that Sigfrid Fortun’s acceptance fee is P20 million per case. If that is true, we can already envisage the bottomless pit of money that the Dutertes have. Remember that for the ICC case of Rodrigo Duterte, the family is not being impoverished by Nicolas Kaufman’s legal fees of P2,590,960 per month (Eu40,000). They have asked the International Criminal Court to help them cover the legal fees of the Kaufman team’s five lawyers.
In the regular Senate sessions and during the initial session of the impeachment court last week, we saw not only a lack of decorum among the legislators but, worse, a mockery of the impeachment proceedings.
The clip of Sen. Francis Tolentino’s speech was only a manifestation. The impeachment case of Vice President Sara Duterte was remanded to the House of Representatives on June 10 but “is not dismissed” according to Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano.
The people see an attempt to ignore their desire for accountability and protect Duterte. They are marching and making their voices heard. Photos and videos by Bullit Marquez for VERA Files.
These are some scenes inside the Senate plenary hall before the 18-5 vote was taken. Take note of Villanueva’s moves especially the last photo.
