Cardemas fail to file impeachment complaint against Marcos

On Thursday, May 8, Ronald and Marie Cardema attempted but failed to file an impeachment complaint against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., citing his alleged violation of the Constitution and betrayal of public trust.

House Speaker Martin Romualdez stated that with Congress on break until June 2, there is 'not much' that can be done regarding their complaint.

The couple accused the president of cooperating with Interpol regarding former President Rodrigo Duterte's arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC), which they argue violates national sovereignty under the Constitution.

Presidential Communications Office Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said on Friday that there is no sufficient ground to seek Marcos' removal from office, maintaining that his actions are part of the Philippines' obligations to Interpol.

The Cardemas have the right to file an impeachment complaint against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., but Palace maintains their accusations are baseless.

Spouses Marie and Ronald Cardema were unable to file the complaint on Thursday as House Secretary General Reginald Velasco was unavailable due to a strategic planning seminar, delaying the filing until Tuesday, May 13.
