Impeach raps vs. Sara Duterte followed due process, Constitution —House prosecutor
The House of Representatives asserts it followed the 1987 Constitution and due process in impeaching Vice President Sara Duterte.
House Secretary General Reginald Velasco confirmed the lower chamber's compliance with constitutional requirements in submitting the impeachment complaint.
The House is awaiting official copies of two petitions filed before the Supreme Court that challenge the impeachment proceedings.
San Juan City Rep. Ysabel Maria Zamora, one of the House prosecutors, believes the evidence is sufficient for Duterte's removal from office and perpetual disqualification.
Zamora stated that there was no grave abuse of discretion or lack of due process in consolidating three impeachment complaints into one, which was circulated to lawmakers.
She also added that the impeachment complaint signed by 215 House members did not violate the one-year ban.
