Second impeachment complaint filed against Vice President Duterte as Palace distances itself from efforts

The progressive group Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) plans to file a second impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte today. This complaint will focus on her alleged betrayal of public trust related to the use of P612 million in confidential funds. Malacañang has distanced itself from the impeachment efforts, with officials stating that the complaints are independent initiatives by private citizens. President Marcos previously advised lawmakers to avoid impeachment discussions and focus on national issues. A first impeachment complaint was filed on Monday by various civil society groups, citing multiple grounds for impeachment. Both complaints may be consolidated for review by the House committee on justice, which will determine their validity.
