PRESS STATEMENT OF CONG. ROILO GOLEZ Congressman Roilo Golez, 2nd District of Parañaque City August 04, 2005
SPEAKER’S AND EXECUTIVE SECRETARY’S STATEMENTS ON IMPEACHMENT DEPLORED

I deplore the statements of the Speaker and the Executive Secretary that they have the commitments of enough congressmen to prevent the Impeachment Complaint from being sent to the Senate “whatever the evidence to be presented before the justice committee.”

It is clear that they are out to protect the President and subvert the impeachment process by tyranny of numbers irrespective of the evidence against the President.

This is an insult to the members of the House. The Speaker and Malacañang are making it appear that House members are like mindless cattle that can be herded anywhere the President want them to go.

Anong palagay ng Malacañang sa mga congressmen at congresswomen, may tali sa ilong?

Any attempt to rig the impeachment process is playing with fire and they shall be held fully responsible for the consequences of the dangerous game they play.
