Malacañang on Thursday challenged critics of President Rodrigo Duterte to file an impeachment complaint if they believe that he committed an impeachable offense when he agreed to allow the Chinese to fish in the country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Palace spokesman Salvador Panelo maintained that the President’s statement that China could fish in Philippine waters was not a ground for impeachment. Still, he dared those who criticized the President to file a complaint if they believe otherwise.
