Inutusan si VP Sara Duterte na sumagot sa mga reklamo ng impeachment sa loob ng 10 araw

Pormal na inutusan si Bise Presidente Sara Duterte noong Huwebes, Marso 5, na sumagot sa dalawang reklamo ng impeachment na isinampa laban sa kanya sa House of Representatives. Natanggap ng Office of the Vice President ang notice mula sa House justice committee sa kanilang headquarters sa Mandaluyong City. Mayroong 10-araw na non-extendible period upang mag-file ng verified answer.

Noong Huwebes, Marso 5, natanggap ng Office of the Vice President ang opisyal na notice mula sa House justice committee, na nagbibigay ng 10-araw na deadline para kay Bise Presidente Sara Duterte na sumagot sa dalawang impeachment complaints. Ang mga reklamo ay isinampa ni Fr. Joel Saballa at iba pa, at ng abogado na si Nathaniel Cabrera. Kung hindi sasagot si Duterte sa loob ng panahong iyon, ituturing na waiver ang kanyang karapatan at general denial ang lahat ng alegasyon.

Inilabas ang notice isang araw matapos magbotohan ang justice committee ng 54-1 na ideklara ang mga reklamo bilang sufficient in substance, ang pangalawang preliminary hurdle sa impeachment process. Ang tanging dissenting vote ay mula kay Rep. Bong Suntay ng Quezon City, 4th District.

Ayon kay Rep. Jinky Luistro, chair ng committee, matukoy lamang ng panel kung sapat ang grounds pagkatapos ng lahat ng pleadings at evidence. Kung hindi sasagot si Duterte, ituturing na denial at magpapatuloy sa hearings. Kinumpirma ni Michael Poa, spokesperson ng defense team, ang pagtanggap ng notice ngunit walang karagdagang komento. "We acknowledge receipt of the notice served today. At this point, we see no need to issue any further comment," sabi niya sa mga reporter.

Ang mga paratang ay kinabibilangan ng betrayal of public trust, culpable violation of the Constitution, graft and corruption, bribery, at iba pang high crimes. Naka-focus ito sa alegadong misuse ng P612.5 million sa confidential funds mula sa OVP at Department of Education noong siya ay education secretary, pati ang mga banta laban kay Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady, at dating House Speaker Martin Romualdez.

Ito ang pangalawang impeachment attempt laban kay Duterte. Ang unang isa noong Pebrero 5, 2025, ay naimpeach ng House at na-transmit sa Senate, ngunit ibinalik ito at ideklara ng Supreme Court na unconstitutional noong Hulyo 2025 dahil sa one-year bar. Bago pa man, may bagong testimony mula kay Ramil Madriaga, self-proclaimed former aide, na nagsabing inutusan siya ni Duterte na maghatid ng malalaking halaga ng pera sa ilang indibidwal.
