WRAP: The impeachment bids vs VP Sara Duterte so far
Impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte face time constraints due to limited session days before the Christmas break and the upcoming election campaigns.
Bukidnon 2nd District Rep. Jonathan Keith Flores, vice chair of the House Committee on Justice, acknowledged that processing these complaints through the committee route would be "medyo tight" given the limited number of session days left.
The Makabayan bloc has endorsed the second impeachment complaint and is working to gather the signatures of 106 representatives to send it directly to the Senate for trial, bypassing the justice panel hearings.
It remains unclear how an impeachment complaint or trial pending after the elections, which may change the composition of the House and Senate, will be handled, according to Senate President Francis "Chiz" Escudero.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has expressed resistance to these impeachment bids.
