00:00The House Justice Committee serves Vice President Sara Duterte a notice to respond to the impeachment complaints against her within
00:0710 days.
00:08The receiving copy of the committee shows Duterte's camp received a notice at 10.44 a.m. Thursday, March 5.
00:15The notice says failure to respond within the period is considered a general denial to allegations in the complaints.
00:21It comes a day after the committee declared two impeachment complaints against Duterte sufficient in substance.
00:27These complaints were endorsed by Mamamayang Liberal Representative Laila de Lima, Deputy Speaker Paulo Ortega, and House Human Rights Committee
00:35Chair Bienvenido Abante.
00:36The petitions seek Duterte's removal from office for various alleged offenses, such as misuse of confidential funds, bribery of education
00:43officials, apparent threats to the life of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his family, and her supposed unexplained wealth.
00:50After the 10-day period, there may be a series of back and forth between Duterte's camp and the complainants
00:55on the filing of pleadings, affidavits, and counter-affidavits.
