Magdalo Party-List Rep. Gary Alejano and his
allies, especially those from the ‘Yellow Cult,’ can now say GOODBYE to the
impeachment complaint he had filed against President Digong Duterte. Why?
In a story in gmanews.tv, House Liberal Party
(LP) head and Deputy Speaker Miro Quimbo was quoted as saying: "We’re all
mature political leaders here. We don’t support it. I’m saying it now as the
head of the Liberal Party here in the House of Representatives. We think it’s
not timely, even without reading the contents of the impeachment complaint.” He
added that the complaint against Digong was "ill-tied and... not grounded
on a wellspring of emotions coming from a lot of people. The President is very
popular! You don’t do that to a popular president…so ang tingin ko talagang
ill-timed and walang susuporta diyan dahil din sa dami ng supporters ng Pangulo
dito sa House of Representatives.”
The LP is the dominant opposition bloc in the
House. And for Alejano’s impeachment complaint against Digong to be elevated to
the Senate for trial, it must pass the House. But with Qmbo’s declaration of
non-support, no way whatsoever for the impeachment complaint to go anywhere
BEYOND A FILING CABINET in the House, especially considering the more than 200 out
of the 270 congressmen who are supportive of Speaker Alvarez
Worse, Quimbo described Alejano’s impeachment
complaint as “gravely irresponsible." I can hardly wait how many more
congressmen will echo Quimbo’s assessment. 30
