Bayan Muna party-list representative Carlos Zarate doubted if President Rodrigo Duterte’s statement allowing Chinese fishermen to trawl in the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone (EEZ) could lead to his impeachment. Zarate in Quezon City said it will be a long shot that any impeachment complaint against Duterte will prosper as he has the support of the majority of congressmen. “It is easy to file an (impeachment), but will it rise to the level… kasi ang sinasabi sa Constitution ay culpable violation of the Constitution not just an ordinary violation,” Zarate said.
