A lawyer has filed an impeachment complaint against President Bongbong Marcos.
This marks the first-ever impeachment complaint filed against the president.
The grounds for the complaint include the move to turn over former President Rodrigo Duterte to the International Criminal Court (ICC), and the failure to veto unprogrammed items in the national budget.
Malacañang stressed that the issues raised in the impeachment complaint have long been addressed.
While claiming no knowledge of the filer's intentions, the Palace also pointed out that the person who endorsed the complaint is allegedly one of the eight contractors mentioned by the ICC.

00:59Na basehan ng impeachment complaint. Una na riyan ang pag-utos daw na isuko si dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa International Criminal Court.
01:07We are putting to question and holding the President accountable, number one, for allowing a citizen of our country to just be whisked away, kidnapped virtually, and brought to a foreign land without due process, despite fully functioning courts here in the country.
01:28Binanggit din ni De Jesus na impeachable offense ang kabiguan ng Pangulong i-veto ang unprogrammed appropriations sa 2023, 2024, 2025, at 2026 budget,
01:41ang umano'y pagbenepisyo sa mga kickback mula sa budget insertion at ghost flood control projects at pagtatag ng Independent Commission for Infrastructure para kanlungin ang mga kaalyado.
01:54Kasama rin sa impeachment complaint ang aligasyon ng paggamit ng droga ng Pangulo.
01:59We're also putting to question the fitness of the President to still govern our country. If you will notice, for some it might be laughable, for some it might be trivial, but an allegation that our sitting President might be somehow involved in an addiction of some sort to prohibited drugs should be alarming. And we are holding the President accountable as well.
02:22Ayon kay De Jesus, wala siyang kaugnayan sa Pangulo o kay Vice President Sara Duterte.
02:28If you're asking if I'm affiliated with the Dutertes, no, I am not. No, I have no links with the President. I've never met either the President or the First Lady. That's the thing. There's that accusation that this is intended to trigger the one-year ban, right?
02:44Ang impeachment complaint ay inendorso ni House Deputy Minority Leader at Pusong Pinoy Partylist Representative, Journey Jet Nisay.
02:54Isa si Nisay sa mahigit 200 kongresistang pumirma naman sa impeachment complaint traban kay Vice President Sara Duterte noon
03:03at isa rin sa mga inirekomenda ng Independent Commission for Infrastructure para kasuhan ng ombudsman kong nai sa mga maanumalyang flood control projects.
03:13Ito yung gustong pag-usapan ng taong bayan, hindi puro sa social media. Ito ay sa tamang quorum natin dadalhin.
03:26At nahiniwala kami sa Saligang Patas, Public Office sa Public Trust, that no one, not even the President, isa bang dalaw.
03:36So sabi nga mapanagot, ang dapat mapanagot. So siguro mapanagot ang totoong mga sala.
03:43Nilinaw ni Nisay na hindi siya nakikipagtulungan sa kampo ng vice.
03:48Tinanggap ni House Secretary General Celoy Garafil ang reklamo ng 8.45 ng umaga.
03:55Sa isang pahayag, sinabi ni Garafil na itatransmit niya ang reklamo sa tanggapan ng Speaker alinsunod sa Konstitusyon at sa Rules ng Kamara.
04:05Nakasaad sa Rules on Impeachment ng Kamara na isang impeachment complaint lang ang pwedeng ma-initiate
04:11laban sa isang impeachable official sa loob ng isang taon.
04:15Hindi pa deemed initiated ang reklamong inihain kanina dahil hindi pa ito nare-refer sa House Committee on Justice.
04:22Once the first one is deemed initiated, it will set a bar for all other impeachment complaints.
04:29So they have to, if they intend to file an impeachment complaint, they must do so at as soon as possible time
04:35para di pa barred by the one-year bar rule.
04:40Kasi kung nasimulan na yung isa, wala na talang matanggap na impeachment complaints as far as the same impeachable officer is concerned.
04:49As soon as it is included in the order of business and soon enough will be referred in the Justice Committee,
05:01rest assured that the Justice Committee is ready to receive the impeachment complaint.
05:07Ang nagre-refer ng mga impeachment complaints sa komite ay ang House Committee on Rules
05:13na pinamumunuan ni Presidential Son at House Majority Leader Sandro Marcos.
05:18Well, in this particular case, I think there is no choice for him.
05:23Because it really says that it has to be referred to the Committee on Justice.
05:27So even if he is the majority leader, and even if the impeachable officer that he's complained of is his father,
05:35wala siyang magawa because ang procedure talaga is that after it is included in the order of business,
05:42then in three days it has to be referred to the Committee on Justice.
05:47Sinusubukan pa namin kunin ang panik ni Congressman Marcos.
05:51Nagtataka naman si Senior Deputy Minority Leader Edgar Erice
05:55kung bakit si De Jesus ang naghahain ng reklamo laban sa Pangulo.
05:59Well, I just found out, kasi back in 2024, November, sometime in November 2024,
06:07the same attorney, Andre Jesus, filed a disbarment case against attorney Glenn Chong
06:17for some statements vilifying the First Lady.
06:22I'm sure that he filed a case against attorney Glenn Chong to defend the First Lady.
06:31Kinwestiyon din ni Davao City 1st District Representative Paulo Duterte, kapatid ng Bise,
06:37ang inihahain reklamo laban sa Pangulo.
06:40Duda ni Representative Duterte, layan ng reklamong inihain ni De Jesus,
06:44ay protektahan ang Pangulo mula sa ibang impeachment complaints.
06:49Ngayon pa lang, walang nakikitang basehan si House Speaker Faustino D. III
06:54para ipa-impeach ang Pangulo dahil malinawa niyang ginagawa naman ng Pangulo
06:59ang trabaho nito.
07:01Pero sinabi ng Speaker na trabaho nilang tanggapin ang mga impeachment complaint
07:05at dinggin ito alinsunod sa konstitusyon.
07:09Hindi raw ito dapat ginagamit sa pamumulitika.
07:11Para sa GMA Integrated News,
07:14Tina Panginiban Perez, nakatutok 24 oras.
07:20Idiniin naman ang palasyo na matagal nang nasagot
07:23ang mga isyong ginawang basihan ng impeachment complaint
07:27laban kay Pangulong Bongbong Marcos.
07:30Pagaman walang kaalaman sa intensyon ng nag-file nito,
07:34ipinunto ng palasyo na ang nag-endorso nito
07:37ay isa umano sa walong kontraktor na nabanggit ng ICI.
07:43Nakatutok si Ivan Mayrina.
07:45Walang basihan ng mga isyong ginamit para sa pahan ng impeachment complaint
07:52si Pangulong Bongbong Marcos ayon sa palasyo.
07:54Itong mga isyo po na ito ay matagal na po natin nasagot.
07:59Matagal na po natin itong naipaliwanag.
08:01Ito ay walang basihan.
08:03Ang lahat po na nagiging trabaho ng Pangulo
08:04ay naaayon sa batas at naaayon sa konstitusyon.
08:07Kabilang sa batayan naman ang reklamo,
08:09ang aligasyong pinayagan ng Pangulo na makikidnap umano,
08:12si dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
08:13Ito ay isang sabi nating case of first impression.
08:16So wala pa pong nadidesisyonan patungkol dito sa gintong klaseng impression
08:20or rather case at sitwasyon.
08:23Kaya masasabi po natin na wala pa pong basihan sa ngayon.
08:26Dagdag ng palasyo, hindi pa nagbibigay ng reaksyon ng Pangulo
08:28sa impeachment complaint laban sa kanya at abala sa trabaho.
08:32Pero ayon kay Castro, nire-respeto ng Pangulo ang proseso
08:35at tiwala sa Kongres o bilang institusyong na atasang duminig nito.
08:38We respect this process and trust that Congress as a co-equal branch of the government
08:44will discharge its duties with honesty, integrity, and fidelity to the rule of law.
08:51Hindi nagsalita ang Malacanang sa posibleng motibo na naghahain ang reklamo
08:54ng si Atty. Andre De Jesus.
08:56Pero pagdating sa nag-endorse ng Kongresista.
08:59Wala po tayong personal na kaalaman kung ano ang kanilang intention
09:04patungkol po sa pag-fine na impeachment complaint.
09:07Ang atin lamang pong nalalaman sa ngayon ay ang party list na nag-endorse
09:12ay isa sa walo na contractors na nabanggit ng ICI.
09:19Para sa GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mayrina nakatutok 24 oras.
09:26Kaugnay sa sinabi ni Erice, ang sabi ni De Jesus,
09:31ginamit lang daw niyang halimbawa mga pahayag ni Atty. Chong
09:34laban kay First Lady sa disbarment case.
09:38Hindi raw niya kinatawan o pinagtanggol ang First Lady.
09:42Muli niyang ay giniit na wala siyang political affiliation.
09:46Anya, nagsilbi rin siyang counsel para sa PDP laban Duterte Wing.
09:52Pero hindi raw niya ibig sabihin na kaalyado siya ng mga Duterte.
