00:00Congressmen are doing their duty towards the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:08Mela Lezmora is in the center of the news. Live.
00:13Louisa, some congressmen were accused of not letting the camera film their constitutional duty
00:19regarding the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:24Today, a huge rally was held by the complainants about this.
00:31In a press conference of the Young Gods group of the camera,
00:35House Assistant Majority Leader Sia Alonto Adjo was asked to consider all the rules
00:41regarding the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte that were filmed on camera.
00:47Just a few days ago, Congress had a session break
00:51to give way to the campaign period for the 2025 midterm elections.
00:56However, not only the camera, the complaints will also go to the Senate.
01:01That's why it will definitely be a challenge for the two prisons,
01:05especially since the majority of the senators will also be affected by the campaign.
01:10Today, a huge rally was held by the groups that are pushing for impeachment against the Vice President.
01:17According to ACT-BAYAN party list representative Percy Sandania,
01:21the complaints will go to the camera so that VP Sara can continue to be held accountable
01:26for the numerous violations against the Constitution.
01:30In a separate statement, House Assistant Majority Leader Ernest Dionisio
01:34and One Rider party list representative George Gutierrez
01:38stated that the camera was not filming the complaints
01:41and in the end, their respective positions will be followed when the complaints reach the vote.
01:47Let's listen to the part of the statement of the congressmen.
01:51What is the pace?
01:54On December 2, we filed the first impeachment complaint.
01:59On January 2, it was the first monthsary.
02:01Let's act on the impeachment.
02:03We know that the election is near,
02:06but in the end, let's not think about the number of votes,
02:10let's think about the well-being of our countrymen.
02:13Of course, those who complain, they also want to see a possible conviction, right?
02:19That's why many complained, because you want the result that you expect to be the result.
02:28If that's what they are intending to see,
02:31then I guess they have to rethink again
02:35because the time frame is that the Senate will also be moving into campaign mode,
02:39most of the senators.
02:40We will not shy away from our constitutional duty.
02:42If it is endorsed, I personally will be attending that committee as a member of the Committee of Justice
02:47and I'd like to see that through.
02:50To be honest, whether you're in favor or against the impeachment,
02:54Congress really has to act upon an impeachment complaint.
02:58So each congressman, although we are friends, we don't have the same stand in everything.
03:06So at the end of the day, we'll really check the merits of the case.
03:10We'll weigh it, so to speak.
03:15Luisa, in the first statement, the Vice President Sara Duterte said that she is ready to face
03:21the impeachment complaint against her here in the House of Representatives
03:25if it is endorsed.
03:27Luisa?
03:29Thank you very much, Mel Alesmoros.
