Makabayan bloc launches House signature drive to hasten VP Sara impeachment
The Makabayan bloc in the House of Representatives has endorsed the second impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte.
They have launched a signature drive to gather at least 106 signatures from House members, representing one-third of the chamber, to bypass committee hearings and hasten the transmittal of the impeachment resolution to the Senate.
The bloc, composed of Gabriela, ACT Teachers Party-List, and Kabataan Party-List, is urging colleagues to act with integrity and political courage.
The impeachment complaint is over alleged corruption and misuse of confidential funds.
With only six session days left before the holiday recess and limited session days in 2025 due to the upcoming midterm elections, the bloc aims to speed up the proceedings.
Makabayan has asked the Senate to prepare for an impartial trial.
