MANILA, Philippines — Palace Press Secretary Claire Castro has called the possible impeachment complaint “unsubstantiated.”

In a statement on Sunday, January 11, Castro said they had seen the statement from a lawmaker regarding the possible impeachment, describing it as “unsubstantiated statements allegedly coming from the supporters of a certain politician.”

“The President remains committed to leading and producing results for the Filipino people. He respects the existing constitutional processes and believes that any actions taken by members of Congress will be driven by facts, the law, and national interest,” Castro’s statement read

“The administration will not speculate on rumours or political maneuverings,” she added.

According to a report by ABS-CBN News on Sunday, Rep. Egay Erice (2nd District, Caloocan) said that some “leaders” of various groups reached out to him and “invited” him to endorse an impeachment complaint against Marcos.

One of the impeachment grounds cited is betrayal of public trust, which is recognized as a valid ground for impeachment under the Constitution.

However, Erice revealed that he declined the invitation, saying he will not endorse measures against either Marcos or Duterte.

He also noted that under new Supreme Court rules, all impeachment matters must first pass through the Committee on Justice.
