No benefit for Philippines from impeachment complaint against VP Sara Duterte, says Marcos

MANILA (Reuters) – Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said on Friday it would not be good for the country if an impeachment complaint is filed against his estranged vice president.

Marcos told reporters lodging an impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte will not make any difference to people’s lives and would only tie down Congress.

“Why waste time on it?” Marcos said.
