2 impeachment complaints filed anew vs VP Sara Duterte
Two impeachment complaints were filed Monday against Vice President Sara Duterte, Super Radyo dzBB reported.
In her report, Super Radyo dzBB's Isa Umali said members of the Makabayan Coalition filed the complaint with the Office of the Secretary General of the House of Representatives. It was endorsed by the Makabayan bloc.
In an interview, former Bayan Muna representative Neri Colmenares said the complaint is about the Vice President's use of confidential funds.
Former ACT Teachers Party-list representative France Castro said they believed Duterte betrayed the public's trust.
"Ngayong araw ang Makabayan bloc ay nag submit ng impeachment complaint round 2 laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte. 'Yung complaint natin ay basically on betrayal of public trust so nakita naman natin noong mga hearing na kinonduct dito sa 19th Congress 'yung tungkol sa confidential funds," she said.
Meanwhile, former Gabriela Party-list representative Arlene Brosas said they pray that the Committee on Justice will find the impeach complaint sufficient in form and substance.
"Hindi natin bibigyan ng excuse ang second highest position in the land. Kung kurap ang pinakatuktok, kurap din ang pangalawang nasa tuktok, dapat lang ma impeach," she said.
Minutes later, Kiko Aquino Dee, former presidential peace process adviser Ging Deles, and Father Flavie Villanueva also went to the House Secretary General to file the second impeachment complaint. It was endorsed by ML Party-list Rep. Leila de Lima and Akbayan Rep. Percy Cendaña.

GMA News Online reached out to Duterte's camp for comment and will publish it once available.
Last week, Duterte said her lawyers have been preparing for the possible filing of a new impeachment complaint against her even after the Supreme Court upheld its 2025 ruling which found the complaint against her unconstitutional.
“Hanggang ngayon, tuloy-tuloy pa naman ‘yung mga abogado and legal team. And nung nakaraang taon, bago mag-Christmas break, ay napag-usapan din namin ‘yung paghahanda sa impeachment,” the Vice President said in an interview in The Hague, Netherlands on January 29.
(Until now, the lawyers and legal team are still working. And last year, before the Christmas break, we also discussed the preparations for the impeachment.)
The Supreme Court announced Thursday that the En Banc “denied with finality,” by a unanimous vote, the motion for reconsideration filed by the House, which sought to reverse the decision that declared the articles of impeachment against Duterte as unconstitutional.It affirmed that the fourth impeachment complaint transmitted to the Senate on February 5, 2025, was already barred by Article XI, Section 3, Subsection 5 of the Constitution. —with a report from Bernadette Reyes/AOL, GMA Integrated News
