Nagsimula na ngayong April 14, 2026, ang unang pampublikong hearing ng House Committee on Justice sa impeachment complaint laban sa Vice President Sara Duterte. Makikita rito ang mga susunod na testigo tulad ni Ramil Madriaga at mga opisyal mula sa iba't ibang ahensya. Nagpatuloy ang proseso matapos hindi makapaglabas ng temporary restraining order ang Supreme Court.

Sa unang pagkakataon, sinuri ng House Committee on Justice ang ebidensya at mga testimonya sa impeachment proceedings laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte ngayong Martes, April 14. Inaasahan ang paglalahad ng subpoenaed documents at witnesses mula sa National Bureau of Investigation, Commission on Audit, Bureau of Internal Revenue, at Office of the Ombudsman. Si Ramil Madriaga, dating aide ni Duterte at tinuturong 'bagman', ay magtete-testigo tungkol sa kanyang affidavit na naglalahad ng koordinasyon sa security officers para maghatid ng cash.

Inihayag ni retired Supreme Court justice Adolf Azcuna na ang hindi paglabas ng TRO ng SC ay senyales na maaari nang magpatuloy ang House sa pagtukoy ng probable cause. "The message here is that the SC does not want at this stage to intervene in House proceedings at a committee level," ani Azcuna sa ANC. Sinabi rin niya na hindi bias ang pagiging prosecution-oriented ng House dahil ito ang kanilang tungkulin sa yugto ng impeachment.

Naghain ng petisyon si Duterte sa Supreme Court upang pigilan ang hearings, ngunit hindi ito naaprubahan. Nagdududa rin siya sa jurisdiction ng committee at tinawag nitong unconstitutional dahil sa one-year bar. Ayon kay Rep. Terry Ridon, "They cannot restrain the truth relating to their personal and business incomes" sa tax records na ipapakita sa hearings.

May 60 session days ang House mula February 23 upang tapusin ang report. Kung papasa ito sa plenary, magiging trial na sa Senate.
