Vice President Sara Duterte appeared composed and unshaken as she addressed the media on Friday regarding her impeachment and the looming Senate trial. She revealed that her legal team had been preparing for this moment since November, amid the House of Representatives' investigation into her alleged misuse of funds from both the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education—a portfolio she held until her resignation in June of last year. When asked about the gravity of the impeachment trial—where conviction would not only remove her from office but also bar her from future public service—Duterte casually quipped, "Mas masakit pa ang iwanan ng boyfriend kaysa ma-impeach ng House of Representatives. (It hurts more to be dumped by a boyfriend than be impeached by the House of Representatives.)”
