House Speaker Bojie Dy says impeach rap vs Marcos lacks meritMANILA, Philippines — House Speaker Bojie Dy sees no logical basis to support the impeachment complaint filed against President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., saying it lacks merit. "Wala tayong nakikitang batayan na magbibigay-katwiran sa isinampang impeachment complaint laban kay Pangulong Ferdinand 'Bongbong' R. Marcos Jr.," the speaker said. However, he recognized that the House is constitutionally bound to consider the impeachment complaint responsibly, ensuring it is not exploited for political purposes that could only sow more division. Other House lawmakers also voiced concern and initial disagreement with the impeachment complaint, including Rep. Edgar Erice (Caloocan, 2nd District) and Rep. Miro Quimbo (Marikina, 2nd District). Without claiming that Congress will not prioritize the complaint, Dy said lawmakers will be focused on passing legislation addressing the country’s social and economic challenges once it resumes its session on January 26.
