2nd impeachment complaint vs Marcos filed in House

The Makabayan coalition on Monday filed an impeachment complaint against President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. over alleged betrayal of public trust due to corruption involving flood control projects, among others.

The complaint was received by House Secretary General Cheloy Garafil.

Last week, complainants led by Bagong Alyansang Makabayan attempted to file the impeachment complaint but the Office of the Secretary General refused to accept it as Garafil was in Taiwan to receive an award and that no one else was authorize to accept the complaint.

Bayan said the impeachment complaint was based on the grounds of betrayal of public trust. It also accused Marcos of committing three impeachable acts including the adoption of the Baselined-Balanced-Managed (BBM) Parametric Formula in allocating infrastructure projects that allegedly led to "ghost", substandard, and overpriced flood management projects.

Marcos was likewise accused of "abusing" his authority to use unprogrammed appropriations, and benefitting from the kickback scheme in the flood control mess.—AOL, GMA Integrated News
