Magpapatuloy ang komite sa hustisya ng Kamara sa unang impeachment hearing laban kay Bise Presidente Sara Duterte ngayong March 25, 2026, sa kabila ng kanyang pag-absensya kasama ang mga abogado niya. Kasama sa agenda ang pagtutok sa mga panuntunan, mosyon, at mga saksi para sa susunod na hearing sa Abril 14. Sinabi ng mga opisyal na batay ito sa ebidensya mula sa mga audit findings.

MANILA, Philippines — Nag-umpisa na ang hearing proper ng komite sa hustisya ng House of Representatives sa mga impeachment complaints laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte ngayong March 25, 2026, sa 10 a.m. sa People’s Center ng Kamara, bagamat hindi dumalo si Duterte at ang kanyang mga abogado, ayon sa ulat mula sa Philstar.com at Rappler. Si Batangas Rep. Gerville Luistro, chairperson ng komite, ay nagsabi na magpapatuloy ang panel sa dalawang natitirang complaints: isa mula kay Fr. Joel Saballa na inendorso ni Rep. Leila de Lima, at isa mula kay lawyer Nathaniel Cabrera na inendorso nina Rep. Bienvenido Abante Jr. at Deputy Speaker Francisco Paolo Ortega V. Kasama sa agenda ang pagresolba ng mga pending motions kabilang ang mga subpoena para sa documents, pagkuha ng kustodiya kay Ramil Madriaga—dating aide ni Duterte na nag-claim na nag-deliver ng cash bilang 'bagman'—at pagtulong sa conflict of interest ng dalawang miyembro ng legal team niya. 'If the complainants are ready, we can actually proceed to presentation of evidence and witnesses,' ani Luistro sa joint statement kasama si Bicol Saro Rep. Terry Ridon. Ang mga allegations ay kinabibilangan ng misuse ng confidential at intelligence funds, unexplained wealth, SALN violations, bribery ng education officials, at death threats kay President Marcos, First Lady Liza Marcos, at dating Speaker Martin Romualdez. Si Duterte ay tumawag nito na 'fishing expedition' at nagduda sa authority ng komite sa kanyang verified answer. Ayon kay Akbayan Rep. Chel Diokno, hiniling din ang SALN at bank records ni Duterte. Si Ridon ay nagdiin na 'these are not speculation. These are official audit findings.' Ang House ay may 60 session days mula February 23 upang resolbahin ang mga complaints. Susunod na hearings: April 14, 22, at 29, na awtorisado pa sa panahon ng recess. 'This is about accountability under the Constitution,' sabi ni Ortega. Si Dino de Leon, counsel ng complainants, ay nagsabing 'duty-bound' si Duterte na harapin ito.
