Two impeach raps vs. Marcos sufficient in form —House panel

The House committee of justice on Monday determined that the two impeachment complaints against President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. were sufficient in form.

The vote for sufficiency in form for the first complaint tallied 46 yes votes, one no vote, and one abstention.

On the other hand, the second complaint logged 35 yes votes, nine no votes, and one abstention.

These two complaints are:

  • filed by lawyer Andre De Jesus which accuses the President of betrayal of public trust and culpable violation of the Constitution, among others, for ordering and enabling the kidnapping and surrender of ex-President Rodrigo Duterte to the International Criminal Court (ICC), being a drug addict whose condition impairs his judgment and leadership, failing to veto unprogrammed appropriations and other unconstitutional provisions of the national budget for 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, among others and
  • The Makabayan complaint alleged that the President committed betrayal of public trust over 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, among others. 

A complaint sufficient in form must be based on personal knowledge and/or authentic documents. —AOL, GMA Integrated News
