Progressive groups file second impeachment complaint against VP Duterte focusing on betrayal of public trust
Progressive groups in the Philippines are filing a second impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte, citing "betrayal of public trust" as the sole ground. This focus aims to streamline discussions on her alleged misconduct. The complaint alleges that Duterte undermined audit processes and ignored Congress during budget discussions. This follows a previous investigation into the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education regarding the use of funds. The first impeachment complaint was filed on December 2, addressing issues such as misuse of funds and threats to officials. The new complaint seeks to expedite the process by concentrating on one significant allegation.
