00:00On the last week of the session, before the camera was adjourned,
00:04the House Secretary-General said that the three impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte are now in action.
00:11Tina Panganiban Perez was on the spot.
00:16On Friday, the rallies led by thousands of rallyists were held,
00:21asking the Congress to proceed with the impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:27Now, the House Secretary-General Reginald Velasco said that it is now in action,
00:32and that it will be brought to the House Speaker's office.
00:36We will act on it this week.
00:37Sir, how many self-imposed deadlines are there?
00:40Well, this week is the deadline.
00:43Last December, three complaints were filed,
00:47and Velasco has been holding them for several weeks,
00:50because he is still waiting for the fourth impeachment complaint.
00:54The issue of impeachment is now in effect,
00:56because this is the last session of the Congress,
00:59before it is adjourned for the campaign in the election of 2025.
01:04The next session is on June 2 to June 13, 2025.
01:09When the term of the current Congress ends in June,
01:13a new impeachment complaint needs to be filed,
01:16if it is still desired to be filed by the newly elected Congressmen.
01:21They're looking for the pass-track process,
01:25which will override all these requirements.
01:30Once they file with 103 or more congressmen,
01:35it will go straight to the plenary and then to the Senate.
01:39This was first said by President Bongbong Marcos,
01:42that he is not in favor of the impeachment of VP Sara,
01:45because the time of the Congress will be wasted for this.
01:50For the GMA Integrated News, Tina Pahaniban Perez,

02:01in the House of Representatives,
02:03the power is in any action that needs to be done
02:07regarding the impeachment complaint,
02:09and the President will not be held accountable as a respect to the Congress.
