“Vice President Sara Duterte will no longer be impeached after several senators resigned and Senate President Francis “Chiz” Escudero was “stripped of power.”
What Vera Files found
The YouTube video merely used footage from the June 11 Senate session, where Senate President Francis Escudero delivered his losing statement and some outgoing senators gave their valedictory speeches. No resignation was shown in the video. Escudero was not stripped of power. He said earlier he would remain as Senate president unless a majority votes to replace him.
Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.
