alliances exploit the process

Impeachment, as a constitutional mechanism, has shifted from being primarily a tool of moral accountability to becoming a mainly political strategy without clear ethical or democratic direction. This is not to argue against its political use or the progression of Duterte’s impeachment. Rather, it is an acknowledgement of how current political alliances exploit the process, sidelining impeachment’s role as a public safeguard as enshrined in the Constitution. High-ranking officials have traditionally reserved impeachment for clear violations of ethical or legal duties, pursuing it alongside popular mobilisation. But the context surrounding Duterte’s impeachment suggests a strategic utility of this process, particularly as the country approaches the 2025 midterm elections and Duterte’s anticipated 2028 presidential bid (President Marcos is constitutionally limited to a single six-year term). สล็อต เว็บตรง
