Rep. Ridon: No 2026 budget funding for VP Sara Duterte impeachment

There is no basis for claims that the 2026 national budget includes funding for an impeachment bid against Vice President Sara Duterte, according to House Committee on Public Accounts Chairperson and Bicol Saro Party List Representative Terry Ridon.

Ridon emphasized that impeachment proceedings are rooted in the pursuit of truth and accountability, not in promised projects.

He stated that if House members or civil society choose to file another impeachment complaint after the one-year ban expires on February 6, they are free to do so and would not be motivated by any project promises for 2026.

Senator Imee Marcos, however, expressed certainty that another impeachment case will be filed against the Vice President once the ban lapses.
