00:00A new impeachment complaint is filed with the House of Representatives against Vice President
00:05Sara Duterte. This raises the total number of petitions to four. The complaint was filed by
00:10lawyer Nathaniel Cabrera and endorsed by Deputy Speaker Paolo Ortega and Manila 6 District
00:15Representative Bienvenido Abante. The petition cites culpable violation of the Constitution,
00:21betrayal of public trust, graft and corruption, bribery, and other high crimes. The four petitions
00:27have yet to be referred to the Justice Committee. The filing was made just hours after Duterte
00:32announced her bid for the 2028 presidential race. Meantime, some question her true intentions.
00:38Kabataan Rep. René Co says Duterte's presidential bid is an attempt to avoid accountability.
00:44Mamamayang Liberal Rep. Laila de Lima says the VP has the right to declare her bid early,
00:49but notes Filipinos also have the right to demand accountability.
