President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. expressed relief after impeachment complaints filed against him were dismissed, saying the House of Representatives should be left to do its work regarding impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte.

"I'm glad that, of course, I'm glad that the impeachment complaints against me have been finished," President Marcos said.

The President welcomed the House Justice Panel's declaration that the impeachment complaints filed against him were insufficient in substance.

According to Marcos, the complaints were merely distractions from his work.

"I'm happy it's done and we can get on with our work, you know. Because these things are distractions from the things that we were doing," the President said.

The impeachment complaints accused Marcos of graft and corruption, culpable violation of the Constitution, and betrayal of public trust.

The President said he knew from the start that the impeachment complaints had no solid basis and were simply political moves.

Marcos declined to comment on the impeachment complaints filed against Vice President Sara Duterte, saying the matter should be left to the House of Representatives to handle.

"I have no reaction. That's not my job, it's the House's job. Let them do their work. I'm sure they will handle it properly. So, let them do their jobs," Marcos said.

["I have no reaction. Hindi ko trabaho ‘yan, trabaho ng House. Pabayaan mo sila magtrabaho. I’m sure they will handle it properly. So, let them do their jobs."]
