Party-list Representative Harold Duterte Speaks on Possible Impeachment Case vs. Cousin VP Sara Duterte
HAROLD DUTERTE – The Pwersa ng Pilipinong Pandagat Party-list Representative made a call to his fellow House members over the possible impeachment rap versus Vice President Sara Duterte.
Ahead of the lifting of the ban on the filing of impeachment complaints against Vice Pres. Sara Duterte, some groups have expressed the possibility of filing a fresh impeachment case against the Vice President. Previously, the Senate archived the impeachment complaint against her.
The Senate archived the impeachment case against Vice Pres. Sara Duterte after the Supreme Court ruled it as unconstitutional. According to the high court, the impeachment rap did not abide by the one year ban rule.
A fresh impeachment rap may only be filed against Duterte after February 6, 2026 as per the high court. The decision of the court earned different reactions from the people including some government officials.
As for Pres. Bongbong Marcos, the Supreme Court ruling on the impeachment case against Vice Pres. Sara Duterte allegedly has “no bearing on merits” of the complaint. Amid the accusations that he is supposedly behind the move, the Chief Executive previously stressed that he has no role in the impeachment process.
Marcos Jr. even claimed that he might be impeached if he will order his allies for the impeachment of the Vice President. Malacañang stressed multiple times that the President will not interfere in the impeachment process.
Recently, amid the talks about the possible filing of a fresh impeachment case against Vice Pres. Sara Duterte, the nephew of former Pres. Rodrigo Duterte, Pwersa ng Pilipinong Pandagat Party-list Rep. Harold Duterte, made a call to his fellow lawmakers in the House of Representatives.
Based on a post of News5 on social media, Harold Duterte called on his fellow House members to vote based on conscience and truth and the provisions of the Constitution in case an impeachment complaint will be filed against his cousin, Vice Pres. Sara Duterte. He urged his fellow lawmakers to examine the complaint.
“I call on my fellow lawmakers, should an impeachment complaint be filed, let us examine the charges soberly, evaluate the evidence rigorously, and vote not based on noise or numbers, but on conscience, truth, and the Constitution,” Harold Duterte said based on the post.
