House adopts wait-and-see approach on VP Duterte impeachment complaint

Lawmakers in the House of Representatives are largely adopting a "wait and see" approach regarding the impeachment complaint filed against Vice President Sara Duterte.

As of now, only a small number of legislators from both the minority and majority blocs have pledged support, with no one having officially signed the impeachment resolution.

Deputy Minority Leader France Castro suggested that many of her colleagues are awaiting their respective parties' decisions on the matter.

The anticipated filing of a third impeachment complaint by a religious group next week is also contributing to the cautious stance of some lawmakers.

Castro indicated that approximately five to six members from the minority bloc and a similar number from the majority bloc have expressed potential support, but formal commitments are pending.

The prevailing attitude among House members appears to be one of observing party alignments before committing to any impeachment proceedings, as legislative decisions in the House often align with party directives.
