The House of Representatives, through its spokesperson lawyer Princess Abante, confirmed in a statement Saturday, July 19 that it has complied with the Supreme Court (SC) directive to submit additional information on the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.
Abante said the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) — House's legal counsel — has electronically filed the required compliance through the Philippine Judiciary Portal, and has also served all parties.
A physical copy will be formally submitted to the high tribunal on Monday, she added.
“The House of Representatives, through its counsel, the Office of the Solicitor General, filed Friday its compliance to the Supreme Court’s directive to provide information on the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte,” Abante said.
In its submission, the House maintained that all four impeachment complaints were processed in full accordance with constitutional mandates.
Abante explained that the three initial complaints were included in the Order of Business within the 10-session-day period prescribed by the Constitution.
