On a Rumored Meeting with VP Duterte

I have been receiving reports that I and another senator-elect in the May 2025 elections recently met with Vice President Sara Duterte.

I vehemently deny and dismiss such rumor as absolutely false and outright malicious for one simple reason only: as an elected senator who is a potential senator-judge in the impeachment trial involving the Vice President should the said trial cross over to the 20th Congress, it is the height of impropriety to meet with her, being a respondent in the said impeachment case already transmitted to the Senate.

Under normal circumstances, I find nothing wrong if newly elected senators or congressmen paid a courtesy call on the second highest official of the land, which I actually did with then VP Robredo when I won my third term in 2016.
