Press Release August 17, 2006
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CRITICIZED FOR
Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Nene Q. Pimentel, Jr. (PDP-Laban) today said the arbitrary dismissal of the impeachment complaint against President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo further exposes the House of Representatives subservience to Malacañang and its failure to discharge its constitutional role in pursuing the peoples quest for justice and truth. The death of the impeachment case means the death of the credibility of the House of Representatives. It also means that peaceful options to remove Gloria may narrow down precariously, Pimentel said. The minority leader said the despicable verdict of the House justice committee also confirms his worst fears that the administration congressmen are incapable of transcending their narrow personal and partisan political interests to protect the national welfare. |
