DAPAT nang tigilan ni opposition Senator Imee Marcos ang political drama at pananakot sa likod ng pagkakalat ng imbento at walang basehan conspiracy theory.
Sa halip, hinimok ni House Committee on Higher and Technical Education Chairman Jude Acidre ang senador na paghandaan na lamang ang pormal na pagdaraos ng pagdinig ng Senate impeachment trial.
“Senator Imee should stop alarming the public with unfounded stories and political fiction. The Filipino people deserve facts, not fear mongering,” wika ng Tingog partylist solon.
“Walang saysay ang pagpapakalat ng mga imbentong conspiracy theory habang may malinaw na tungkuling konstitusyonal na dapat harapin ang Senado bilang impeachment court,” dugtong ni Acidre.
Una nang isiniwalat ng senador ang umano’y ginagapang na charter change (ChaCha) na naglalayon pahabain ang termino ng kapatid na si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
“The Constitution is very clear. President Marcos cannot run again in 2028. To keep repeating this narrative despite the absence of evidence only deepens political toxicity and confusion,” ani Acidre.
“The Senate is about to sit as an impeachment court on a matter of historic national importance. This is not the time for distraction politics,” giit pa ng partylist congressman.
Ayon kay Acidre, “ang inaasahan ng taumbayan ay katotohanan, pananagutan, at maayos na paglilitis—hindi pananakot, hindi propaganda, at lalong hindi gawa-gawang kwento tungkol sa martial law o term extension.”
“At this crucial time, public officials should help calm the nation—not inflame it with reckless accusations,” apela pa niya.
Kinastigo rin ni Deputy Speaker at Iloilo Rep. Janette Garin ang aniya’y “pure chismis” na charter change at term extensions kung mababasura diumano ang impeachment case laban kay Vice President Sara Z. Duterte.
“This is pure chismis. There is absolutely no truth to these claims. Public officials should be responsible with their statements because these kinds of rumors only confuse and mislead the public,” anang lady Deputy Speaker.
“This is clearly a way of deflecting the issue and pointing at the administration. It twists people’s minds to make it appear that there is a hidden agenda because they know the public strongly rejects any no-election scenario,” dagdag ni Garin.
Giit niya, walang anumang panukala na tinalakay sa Kamara tungkol sa naturang alegasyon at nagbabala sa pagkakalat ng maling balita para guluhin at lituhin ang isipan ng publiko.
“The impeachment process is already provided for under the Constitution. We should not poison public discourse with imaginary scenarios and conspiracy theories meant to create fear and division,” hirit pa ni Garin.
“At a time when emotions are already high, leaders should be more careful and responsible with their words. The Filipino people deserve facts and honesty, not fear-driven narratives designed to inflame tensions.”
