Former President and Pampanga 2nd District Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo says she would vote against any House resolution or impeachment complaint seeking to impeach Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla. In a statement issued on Wednesday, Arroyo said that if an impeachment resolution is filed in the House against Remulla, she will vote against it. Her remarks come after online reports circulated about a supposed plot to impeach Remulla. Arroyo also characterizes impeachments as “fundamentally political,” and says that a vote in favor of Remulla would be her response in such a scenario. The statements do not detail any specific allegations against Remulla or provide evidence for the reported plan, but they clarify Arroyo’s position on whether she would support impeachment proceedings in the House. The two reports agree that Arroyo is making the commitment in advance, and that her stance is against moving forward with impeachment if a resolution is presented.
