President Marcos is not stopping any of his officials from attending the second Senate probe on the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte, a Palace official said yesterday.

Malacañang is leaving it up to lawmakers to decide whether to use the so-called “Team Grocery” or the new list of alleged beneficiaries of Vice President Sara Duterte’s confidential funds in strengthening the case for her impeachment.

The latest available opinion poll gave President Ferdinand R. Marcos a mere 14 percent approval rating. Sara Duterte enjoys nearly triple that rate.

Lawyer Nicholas Kaufman hopes to stop the case before the ICC confirms the charges against Duterte by arguing the court cannot exercise its jurisdiction.

Apart from potato chip and cellular phone brands, names of popular restaurants, fruits and root crops, the liquidation reports of the Office of the Vice President under Sara Duterte have been found to include a growing list of daily grocery items.
