Dismissal of Impeachment Case Due to Insufficiency of Substance

Dismissal of Impeachment Case Due to Insufficiency of Substance

This is a sad day not only for us the complainants and the minority lawmakers, but more so for the Filipino people. Our right to take President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to task has again been taken away from us.

As our minority lawmakers have said repeatedly, this process is a way to let government show the transparency that the Constitution mandates.

The impeachment process is the proper and legal forum to let the people know what is happening and to allow the government and its officials to explain themselves.
It appears that the government would rather that the people take its grievances to the street than offer them a decent and legal forum.

The House Justice Committee might have stopped the impeachment complaint but I assure everyone that the Committee cannot stop us from airing our grievances and allegations in any and all other forums available to us.

We will bring this case straight to the people. We will go to them and talk to them. We will put out into the open what the government would rather keep under the cloak of darkness.

I give my utmost appreciation to all those who supported us in any way. I thank the Filipino people for their sentiments and their prayers.

We will not keep quiet. The fight in the halls of Congress may be over but the real fight for truth and justice goes on.
