The House of Representatives impeached Vice President Sara Duterte, with over 200 lawmakers supporting the move. The complaint was submitted to the Senate.
“There is a motion to direct the Secretary-General to immediately endorse to the Senate the impeachment complaint. Having been filed by more than one-third of the membership of the House, or a total of 215 members, is there any objection? The Chair hears none. The motion is approved. The Secretary-General is so directed,” said House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
Under the law, only 101 lawmakers are required for the House to approve the complaint and send it to the Senate for trial.
Under the Senate’s Rules on Impeachment Proceedings, the Senate will set the date and time for the consideration of the Article of Impeachment.
