Vice President Sara Duterte on Wednesday issued a statement welcoming the Supreme Court’s (SC) ruling declaring the impeachment complaint against her as unconstitutional.
“I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the members of the Defense Team for taking on my case, even when no one else was willing to stand by me,” Duterte said.
“Thank you to the Petitioners of G.R. No. 278359 for having the conviction to challenge the abuses of the House of Representatives,” she added.
The Vice President further criticized what she described as greedy leaders who would become the nation’s downfall.
“Our country deserves better, and we shall stand tall, strong, and resilient against leaders whose greed will bring down our homeland. We deserve better,” Duterte said.
She likewise thanked her supporters for standing by her after she was impeached by the House.
“To those whose voices rang out in dissent against persecution — thank you. Your courage to speak the truth has been a source of strength,” Duterte said.
“And to the parents, children, and silent supporters who offered their prayers for justice — thank you. Your quiet faith lifts me up,” she added.
