00:00The House Justice Committee approves the report containing the resolution stipulating the articles
00:05of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte. A total of 55 lawmakers vote in favor of the
00:10report with no objections. The report consists of four articles of impeachment, a consolidation of
00:16the alleged offenses hurled at the Vice President in the two impeachment complaints. The report
00:21asks the impeachment court to declare Duterte guilty of all the offenses and to disqualify
00:26her from public office. It also requests that she be declared liable for prosecution, trial and
00:31punishment. Monday's proceedings are considered a matter of formality as the panel already voted
00:36last week in favor of motions finding probable cause in the two separate complaints against Duterte.
00:41House Committee Chairperson Jinky Luistro says a plenary vote may be held as early as May 11,
00:46giving lawmakers a week to study the draft impeachment articles.
