100 pro-impeachment lawmakers reelected in 2025 polls

A significant majority of House of Representatives members who supported the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte were reelected in the 2025 midterm polls, with 100 out of 115 district lawmakers securing fresh mandates.

Tingog party-list Rep. Jude Acidre stated that the election results contradict the notion that the impeachment proceedings were a political liability for these lawmakers.

Acidre's remarks were a response to claims by Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas campaign manager Rep. Toby Tiangco, who suggested that some losing senatorial candidates faced backlash due to the impeachment.

He asserted that the public values courage and has shown support for the lawmakers' actions regarding the impeachment, effectively debunking the narrative of it being a political burden.

The other 100 signatories, meanwhile, either finished their three consecutive terms in Congress or ran for other positions, Acidre said.

Even in Mindanao, considered the bailiwick of the Dutertes and where critics predicted a backlash, 36 of the 44 pro-impeachment lawmakers are set to return to Congress on July 1, representing an 81.81 percent win rate.

Acidre stressed that the House acted as it should - as an independent, co-equal branch committed to the rule of law, and that Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez provided steady leadership throughout.
