MANILA, Philippines — House of Representatives committee on higher and technical education chair Tingog party-list Rep. Jude Acidre on Friday called on Sen. Imee Marcos to stop spreading what he described as “baseless conspiracy theories” about extending President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s term and instead focus on her constitutional duties in the upcoming impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte.

Acidre issued the statement after Imee Marcos claimed that alleged moves toward constitutional amendments were supposedly aimed at extending the president’s term and preventing the 2028 elections.

“Senator Imee should stop alarming the public with unfounded stories and political fiction. The Filipino people deserve facts, not fear-mongering,” Acidre said.

“Spreading fabricated conspiracy theories is pointless when the Senate, acting as an impeachment court, has a clear constitutional duty to fulfill,” he added.
