Prof. Cristina Astorga drew public attention and criticism for her commentary regarding the defense lawyers of Vice President Sara Duterte during her impeachment proceedings.In her remarks, Astorga criticized lead counsel Sheila Sison and counsel Kristine Ferrer, characterizing them as having "walang appeal" (no appeal), "napakagaspang ang dating" (appearing very abrasive/rough), and being "nakaka-turn off" (off-putting). She further questioned whether other legal representation could take up the Vice President's cause, suggesting that the defense's position might be entirely "indefensible".Her comments sparked backlash from critics who argued that her critique focused superficiality on "optics over intellect" rather than addressing the actual legal arguments, constitutional interpretations, or evidentiary.
