Imee Marcos: Sara Duterte impeachment trial not urgent

Reelectionist Senator Imee Marcos on Saturday said the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte is not urgent, noting that the House of Representatives took 2 months before sending it to the Senate for trial.

Marcos, a known friend and ally of Duterte, said this was the collective decision of the Senate.

"Hindi, magkasabay kami ng buong Senado na pinagkaisahan na siguro ipa ipa-Hulyo na lamang dahil kasi, yun nga, dalawang taon na namin naririnig yan, dalawang buwan na nakatengga dyan sa Kongreso. Bakit naman last minute pinadala sa amin? Huwag naman ganun," Marcos said in a campaign appearance in Batangas on Saturday, which coincided with the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas' campaign sortie in Carmen, Davao del Norte.

"Kaya kami, palagay namin di naman siya urgent kasi nag-antay sila ng dalawang taon. Tapos nung napila na, dalawang buwan naman, aba'y siguro hindi urgent. At saka na lang, sa Hulyo na lang."

Responding to a question about whether she believed electoral surveys or not, Marcos expressed preference to just focus on campaign work.

"Mas maigi, magtrabaho na lamang. Pero biro ko nga, lahat ng senador nandoon sa ibang lugar, ako lang ang narito kasi mas type ko ang barako, ayan. Feel na feel ko dito,” Marcos said.
