"While we respect the decision of the Supreme Court (SC), the House maintains that it has done its part in the impeachment proceedings, particularly in the initiation of the impeachment process," House spokesperson Princess Abante said in an interview with "Storycon" on One News.

"We believe that we have performed our duties according to the Constitution. But just the same, we will be waiting for the full decision and we will exhaust all means legally to assert the independence of the House of Representatives in this process," she added.

The SC yesterday confirmed its decision declaring the Articles of Impeachment against the Vice President as unconstitutional.
