SC ‘notes’ petition seeking reversal of Sara Duterte impeach ruling, oral args
An anti-corruption coalition is appealing to the Supreme Court to hold oral arguments regarding its earlier ruling that declared the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court had previously stated in July that the impeachment proceedings against VP Duterte were invalid due to a violation of the one-impeachment-per-year rule.
Three impeachment complaints were filed against Duterte in December 2024, all connected with the alleged misuse of confidential funds.
The fourth impeachment complaint, which was endorsed by over one-third of House of Representatives lawmakers, was transmitted to the Senate as the Articles of Impeachment.
Following the Supreme Court's decision, the House of Representatives, Makabayan bloc, and activist groups filed motions for reconsideration.
TAMA NA submitted a letter in August to the Supreme Court, officially lodging their objections to the ruling and advocating for public oral arguments.
The Supreme Court has taken note of the letter-petition, acknowledging its receipt and the request for oral arguments.
