How the seemingly impossible task of impeaching Erap Estrada was done

With President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. saying impeaching Vice President Sara Duterte is probably a waste of time and the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) backing the President’s stand with a call for a prayer rally for peace and unity on January 13, Monday next week, a Duterte impeachment appears to be a losing cause. 

Would members of the House of Representatives go against the wishes of the leadership of the powerful Christian church? The odds appear stacked against the civic groups and leaders pushing for the Vice President’s impeachment.
