Considering that only the President is immune from lawsuits, a legal verity which President Rodrigo Duterte fully knows, then his pretext of running for vice president to enjoy “immunity”, spills the beans on his real intention to become successor-president the moment the office of the elected president in 2022 is vacated by design or fortuitous event.
Duterte’s latest alibi of securing immunity from suits by running for vice president is grossly mistaken because:
1. The Vice President is not immune from suits.
2. Only the President enjoys this immunity, not by constitutional mandate but by judicial pronouncements in
David vs. Arroyo and
Duterte to run for veep in 22 to gain immunity from suits
