Makabayan bloc optimistic impeachment complaint against VP Duterte will advance

inquirer.net

The Makabayan bloc in the Philippines is optimistic that their impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte will progress, despite concerns about limited time in Congress. They filed the complaint citing betrayal of public trust, aiming for a quicker process than previous cases. The House has only 12 session days before a break on December 20, with limited days available until February 2025. Former lawmakers believe that if there is political will, the impeachment process can be expedited. Duterte's office is under investigation for the use of confidential funds, with issues raised about questionable receipts. A name linked to these receipts, Mary Grace Piattos, has been confirmed as non-existent by the Philippine Statistics Authority.
