VICE PRESIDENT Sara Duterte pointed to a Supreme Court decision as the proper indictment of what she described as an “abuse of authority” within the House of Representatives.
Responding to a question about a potential ouster of House Speaker Martin Romualdez, Vice President Duterte said she had not seen or heard anything about it.
“Di man ko nagatan-aw sa ilaha oy kay irritating sila sa mata ug sa dalunggan (I don’t watch them because they are irritating to the eyes and ears),” she said.
She then pivoted the conversation to a recent Supreme Court ruling. “I’ve not seen it, but didto na lang ta sa kung unsay gisulti sa Supreme Court. Gilatag og tarong kung giunsa nila pag-abuso ang ilahang power dinha sa House of Representatives (Let’s just refer to the Supreme Court, which clearly laid out how the House of Representatives abused their power),”
she said.
The vice president was also asked about the description of the Speaker as a “spoiled brat,” but she declined to comment. “The best description for that is in the Supreme Court decision that there was really abuse and there was a show of power that was wrong,” she stated.
