House submits documents on impeachment raps vs VP Sara to SC

The House of Representatives has complied with the Supreme Court's directive to submit information and documents under oath regarding the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte.

The Office of the Solicitor General, representing the House, filed the compliance online and electronically served all parties, with a physical copy to be submitted to the Supreme Court on Monday.

The Supreme Court had previously requested information on the status and procedural steps concerning impeachment complaints against the Vice President.

The impeachment complaints against VP Duterte include allegations of culpable violation of the Constitution, bribery, graft and corruption, betrayal of public trust, and other high crimes, particularly concerning her alleged misuse of P612.5 million in confidential funds.

The House stated that all three initial complaints were included in the Order of Business within the ten-session-day period required by the Constitution.

A fourth complaint, signed by more than one-third of House Members, effectively constituted the Articles of Impeachment and was transmitted directly to the Senate, rendering the earlier complaints moot and subject to archiving.
