House: VP Sara impeachment constitutional

The House of Representatives has confirmed it complied with the Supreme Court's order to submit information on the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte, while maintaining that the proceedings followed constitutional requirements.

- 

In a press statement, House spokesperson Atty. Princess Abante said the Office of the Solicitor General, acting as the chamber's legal representative, electronically filed the compliance on Friday via the Philippine Judiciary Portal.

Electronic copies were also served to parties involved, with a physical filing to follow on Monday.

“The House stands by its position that all four impeachment complaints were handled in full compliance with the Constitution,” the statement read.

Abante said the first three complaints were included in the Order of Business within the 10-session-day timeline required by the Charter.

The fourth complaint, backed by more than one-third of House members, was transmitted directly to the Senate as the Articles of Impeachment, effectively nullifying the earlier complaints.

She assured the public that due process remains available to Duterte.
