INC to hold rally backing PBBM’s anti-impeachment call

By Ferdinand Patinio | Philippine News Agency

The Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) is organizing a rally in support of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s call for lawmakers not to file an impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte.

In a report on an INC-run network Thursday, program host Gen Subardiaga said an impeachment complaint against the country’s second highest official is not a priority as there are more important issues that need to be addressed.

“Ang Iglesia ni Cristo ay para sa kapayapaan. Ayaw po natin sa anumang uri ng kaguluhan na manggagaling sa kaninumang panig. Ngayon pa lamang, mga kababayan, ay nag-organisa na po ang mga lokal sa buong Iglesia para magkaroon ng mga malalaking pagtitipon, para ipakita, ipahayag itong binabanggit namin na pabor kami sa opinyon ng Pangulong Bongbong Marcos na no to impeachment,” Subardiaga added.

The President earlier said he does not support calls for the impeachment of the Vice President, adding that such a move would not help the Filipino people.

Despite this, two separate impeachment complaints have been filed before the House of Representatives against Duterte this week.

The first impeachment complaint was filed on Monday, culpable violation of the constitution, graft and corruption, bribery, betrayal of public trust and other high crimes as grounds for impeachment.

The second impeachment complaint was filed on Wednesday by the Makabayan bloc, citing allegations of betrayal of public trust.
