众议院将推进对萨拉·杜特尔特的弹劾听证会

尽管副总统萨拉·杜特尔特的支持者向最高法院提交了请愿书,众议院仍将于下个月继续进行针对她的弹劾程序。议员们表示,司法委员会将遵循1987年宪法和众议院规则。目前,澄清听证会正在进行中,以确定是否存在可能的犯罪事实。

由八打雁省众议员Gerville Luistro主持的众议院司法委员会在认定神父Joel Saballa和律师Nathaniel Cabrera提交的两项弹劾投诉在形式和内容上均符合要求后,于3月25日开始了澄清听证会。委员会正在评估是否存在可能的犯罪事实,这是将案件移交参议院审判前的最后一步。听证会定于4月14日、22日和29日举行,以赶在国会5月4日复会之前。

圣胡安市众议员Ysabel Maria Zamora表示,对于杜特尔特盟友、律师Israelito Torreon向最高法院提交申请临时限制令的请愿书,他们早有预料。“当然,我们预料到了,我们也感觉到他们会向最高法院提起请愿,”Zamora昨日告诉ANC新闻台。她对众议院在有证据支持的情况下通过该案件充满信心。

Luistro强调了听证会在通过证据和证人证词核实指控方面的作用。“澄清听证会类似于初步调查,其目的仅是为了确定是否存在可能的犯罪事实,”她表示。她将这些程序与参议院的全面审判区分开来,并敦促任何法院审查都应关注实际行为而非术语问题。

副总统杜特尔特的辩护发言人Michael Poa表示,如果众议院执意推进,他们将不会反对将案件移交给参议院。“如果他们掌握了足够的人数,那为什么还需要听证会?……我们已经准备好了,就像去年一样,”Poa评论道。辩护团队此前抵制了委员会的听证会,指责其是在为无关文件进行“捕鱼式取证”。
