House posts video on VP Sara Duterte's impeachment

The House of Representatives posted an 'explainer' video on its official Facebook page on Thursday to provide clarity on the Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte.

Ako Bicol party-list Rep. Raul Angelo Bongalon stated that the nearly nine-minute video aims to simplify and clarify the impeachment proceedings for the public, potentially translating it into local languages for better understanding.

The video explains each article of impeachment cited in the House verified complaint sent to the Senate and shows pieces of evidence like Duterte's online press briefings and other documents.

Bongalon emphasized that the video also aims to dispel the notion that Duterte's impeachment was borne out of politics, highlighting the technical matters such as misuse of confidential funds within DepEd and threats made against government officials.

Vice President Duterte dismissed the impeachment proceedings earlier this month, comparing it to being left by a partner and stating that she is not considering resignation while her legal team prepares for defense.
