Former city mayor and law professor Atty. Oscar Moreno underscored the importance of impeachment as a constitutional tool for holding high-ranking government officials accountable.
According to Moreno, impeachment is not only a safeguard for officials but also a means to ensure responsibility under the law.
He emphasized that the process demonstrates that no official is above the law, including the president, vice president, Supreme Court justices, and other constitutional officers.
Moreno explained that impeachment serves as a legal avenue to examine and address possible violations committed by an official while still in office.
He added that this reinforces the principle that government must remain a government of laws, not one driven merely by individual influence
