Progressive groups file second impeachment complaint against Vice President Duterte focusing on betrayal of public trust

Progressive groups in the Philippines are filing a second impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte, focusing solely on "betrayal of public trust." This approach aims to streamline discussions on her alleged misconduct, according to petitioner Neri Colmenares. The complaint alleges that Duterte undermined audit processes and ignored Congress during budget discussions. It follows a previous impeachment complaint filed on December 2, which included various allegations against her. Recent investigations revealed discrepancies in the handling of funds by the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education, including a questionable signature linked to a non-existent individual.
