00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcus Jr. reiterated that the executive branch has no involvement in the impeachment process against Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:09He said it would be inappropriate for him to interfere as he himself is an impeachable official.
00:15The president also clarified that the Supreme Court's ruling on the case focused solely on procedural lapses in filing, not on the merit of the complaint.
00:23He added that the Senate's move to archive the case is not an issue of government accountability, stressing that bodies like the Commission on Audit can still probe corruption allegations.
00:53My friends who are in the Senate and who are in the House, ito yung dapat ninyong gawin.
01:00Highly improper yun.
01:03Pati na ako ma-impeach kung nga gawin ko yun.
01:05Hindi ko gawin yun.
01:06So, yes, they ask, and we talk about it, but, you know, it's not as if I try to direct their actions.
01:15That would be, that's the last thing I want to do.
01:17Besides, when this all started, I immediately came to the conclusion, I have no part in this.
