Impeach complaint rock-solid, says prosecutor
A lawmaker from the House prosecution panel has affirmed the legitimacy and constitutionality of the impeachment complaint filed against Vice President Sara Duterte.
Batangas Rep. Gerville Luistro stated that the complaint was properly verified and signed by 215 members of the House of Representatives.
Luistro refuted claims that the verification process was flawed, asserting that Congress has the authority to establish its own impeachment rules.
She clarified that the verification page was already part of the complaint when lawmakers signed it during a caucus on February 5, debunking allegations that it was added later.
