Diokno, De Lima say impeach trial also challenges culture of violence

MANILA, Philippines – House prosecutors and Akbayan Party-list Rep. Chel Diokno and Mamamayang Liberal Party-list Rep. Leila de Lima said Saturday that Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial goes beyond holding her accountable for alleged offenses. It is also about rejecting a culture of violence and impunity that has become normalized under the Dutertes’ leadership.
