The House committee on justice is holding what is expected to be its final hearing on April 29 into impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte, zeroing in on allegations of death threats. The National Bureau of Investigation is set to present findings on Duterte's 2024 statements targeting President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and former House Speaker Martin Romualdez. The panel may vote on probable cause today.
Following the House justice committee's adoption of its impeachment report, members have one week to study the articles against Vice President Sara Duterte before a potential plenary vote on May 11, justice chair Rep. Jinky Luistro said. The timeline complies with a July 2025 Supreme Court ruling on due process.
