War on Drugs!

Malacañang yesterday distanced itself from the filing on Monday of an impeachment complaint against President Marcos’ former ally-turned-arch critic Vice President Sara Duterte, repeating an admonition to lawmakers that such a move would only distract the government from its task of attending to pressing matters.

I spent the better part of last week briefing the diplomatic and corporate communities on VP Sara’s tirades and what it could mean for our political future.

Impeachment involves two head counts.

And the die is cast.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines has not received any confirmed reports that the life of Vice President Sara Duterte is in danger even as she has repeatedly claimed to be the subject of "threats."
