Duterte can’t be impeached on Benham Rise issue – JPE

FORMER Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile viewed as “foolish” the plan to include the supposed agreement between President Rodrigo Duterte and China on Benham Rise in the supplemental impeachment complaint against the chief executive.

Enrile noted that Duterte, as the principal architect of the country’s foreign policy, does not have to consult the Departments of Foreign Affairs and National Defense in making decisions.
