President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said he chose to put his time and efforts as leader of the nation to uplift the lives of Filipinos and further the country’s progress, and leave the impeachment to Congress.

President Marcos made clear that he chose not to be involved in the impeachment process against Vice President Sara Duterte.

“Siguro if a president chooses to do that; I choose not to,” the President said in the latest podcast interview aired on Saturday.

In the last part of the BBM Podcast Episode 2, President Marcos reiterated his stance that the executive department has no role in the impeachment of the Vice President as the process falls within the ambit of the legislative department.

“Lahat ng impeachment process nasa lehislatura ‘yan. It’s between Congress and the Senate,” said the President.

“I’m busy with the transport, with the rice, with all of the different things that we are doing that nauubos ang oras ko doon. Wala naman akong papel doon sa impeachment,” the President continued. | PND
