MANILA, Philippines – House prosecution counsel Amando Ligutan on Wednesday, Day 19 of Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial, explained his viral social media post, saying his decision to comment stemmed from his role not only as a lawyer but also as a teacher.
“More than a lawyer, first and foremost, I am a teacher… Ang pagtuturo ay walang pinipiling lugar at walang pinipiling panahon,” Ligutan says, adding that his “teacher’s instinct kicked in” when he saw what he believed was a mistake that needed to be corrected.
