Congressmen are likely to refile the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte next year following the lapse of the one-year bar period if the Supreme Court (SC) doubles down on the unconstitutionality of the complaint initiated last Feb. 5.
00:00I think House members would definitely be interested in refiling it, whichever mode it takes.
00:07Whether through the mode of going into the Committee on Justice, whether through the mode of going into plenary, through an automatic transmittal.
00:17If you're sure on evidence, sure on the justness of it, it shouldn't stop you from actually refiling it.
00:27So, it stopped us today, but there's Feb 2026 anyway.
00:32So, I'm quite sure that House members who are interested in exacting accountability will still refile it.
00:40Pero, sa pagtingin po ninyo mas parang better, which route is better, the Committee on Justice or the, given the new requirements given by the Supreme Court,
00:54how would you assess alin nang better route po?
00:58I mean, at this point, it's a matter of tactics.
01:01We just have to agree on, is it a just thing to do?
01:06And I'm quite certain House members will say today that it is a just thing to do.
01:10So, I think, if it's a tactic of, you know, doing it through the Committee on Justice or doing it through the direct transmittal route,
01:20and siyempre, with the new Supreme Court proceeding, siyempre, may bagong pong mga, ano yan, may bagong mga requisito po na kailangan gawin.
01:29I think we will resolve it once we get to that point.
01:33Pero, kung ano man yan, whether through the Committee on Justice or whether through plenary,
01:39the most important thing today is, and the most important question to the nation and to Congress is,
01:46kailangan bang may managot sa usapin po ng confidential funds?
01:49May kailangan po bang managot sa pagbabanta laban sa mga matataas na opisyal nang bansa?
01:55Kaya, kung ang sagot po doon ay oo, whether it is through the Committee on Justice or whether it is through plenary,
02:01gagawin po at gagawin po yung mga requisito yung kailangan pong gawin para po dito.
