SO VP Sara was impeached by the House. So what?
Does this give her political enemies the edge, a big No.
In fact, by impeaching VP Sara, she has given her supporters the chance to come out and express their huge disappointment to their elected representatives.
Does this affect her image or credibility?
Again, a big No.
Why, because for one, impeachment is nothing but a political, not legal or judicial, process where political number, not guilt, determines the vote, and besides, the people know what was the “million-reason” for the 240 House endorsers of the impeachment complaint.
Kon sa piniliay pa, dunay tumoy sa ballpen nga sample ballot nga dunay gi-staple nga wawarts. Kon way wawarts, walay boto.

The people expected all along that the members of the House of Representatives could not be impartial, and would be very compliant to the wishes of the Tamba because they were either “forced” or “coerced” or “convinced” to affix their endorsement in exchange for millions of projects, ahem.
Just because she was impeached by the House does not mean that she has committed any wrongdoing at all that would justify her removal from office. After all, there was no hearing or resolution of guilt or culpability but only the juicy incentive of millions of projects in their districts.
By signing en masse, dali ra kaayo nila gi-short cut ang approval sa “articles of impeachment” ug wala na moagi sa hearing as to form and substance.
Gi-short cut ra lagi, kay klaro kaayo nga nagdali sila nga ma-impeach si VP Sara.
But so what?
It is not the House, but the Senate, that determines whether she deserves to be convicted and consequently removed from office.
And because the Senate has adjourned and will resume session on June 2, 2025, nga human na sa piniliay sa Mayo, impas patatas na ang ilang plano nga tangtangon si VP Sara.
Back to zero, matod pa ni Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio.
Kon nag-inabtik ug nag-minaro ang mga kongresista pinaagi sa pag-short cut sa impeachment process, na-isahan ra sab sila sa mga kaalyado ni VP Sara nga mga senador.
Walay hearing nga mahimo aron tukion ang articles of impeachment gikan sa House kon nag-adjourn na ang senado.
Og dili sab pwede tukion ang articles of impeachment bisan pa og magpa-tawag si senate president Chiz Escudero og special session.
Mao ni gipasabot ni Carpio nga back to zero.

Kinsa may naalkanse aning sitwasyona?
Siyempre si Tamba kay mao man gyod ni klaro nga kontra ni VP Sara, apil na niini ang mga walhon sama nila ni France Castro ug mga kaubanan.
How about those who merely signed and affixed their endorsement, kadtong 240 ka buok?
Aw, ka-ganansiya to silang tanan kon tinud-on ni Tamba ang matod pa, 250 million worth of projects kunohay, in exchange sa ilang pagpirma.
That is, kon tinud-on. Kon di tinud-on, kay nausab ang thinking ni Tamba, aw di siyempre, kwits pod ang gisaad nga million projects.

In Bohol, viral is the meme about the snake queen, snaky serna and all of that, because of that published picture in pisbok during one baptismal ceremony where VP Sara was one of the ninangs.
Klase-klase ang atake, klase-klase ang birada, klase-klase pod ang mga batikos.
I don’t blame them.
But methinks if there was betrayal at all, then that issue is private and personal between the Ninangs, and only the Ninangs, and nobody else, can invoke that.
The madlang Boholano, the kibitzers, the mariteses cannot accuse anybody of a kumare being a traydor to her kumare, because the baptismal ceremony was private and personal, and definitely not official. Walay labot ang ilang pagka-kongresista or pagka-bise presidente sa maong bunyag.
Nasayod bitaw tang tanan nga katungod na sa ginikanan sa bata nga bunyagan ang pagpili kon kinsa ang mga Ninong ug Ninang, unya bisan gamay, wala gyoy labot ang mga katawhan or mga Bol-anon sa pillion sa hingtungdan, or kinsa ang ilang imbitahon sa pakals or sa salo-salo.
So for me, off tangent, wa malugar ug sayop ang batikos sa uban nga traydor si Cong Vanvan or Cong Alexie kay bugtong si VP Sara ra ang makasulti ana.
If ever, sila ra sab si Cong Vanvan or Cong Alexie ang manubag ngadto ni VP Sara, ug dili ngadto sa mga katawhan, kon nganong mipirma sila sa impeachment.
In the meantime, maghuwat lang sa ta sa isulti ni VP Sara kon feel ba niya nga gi-traydoran siya sa iyang mga kumare sa Bohol.
Gets?
