Vice President Sara Duterte has asked the Supreme Court (SC) to nullify the impeachment complaint filed by 215 members of the House of Representatives against her.
In her petition for certiorari and prohibition, Duterte said the fourth impeachment complaint against her violated the one-year impeachment ban.
She cited Section 3(5), Article XI of the Constitution, which states that, “No impeachment proceedings shall be initiatied against the same official more than once within a period of one year.”
Duterte-Carpio filed her petition, with urgent application for Temporary Restraing Order and/or Writ of Preliminary Injunction on February 18, 2025.
Senate President Francis Escudero earlier said the impeachment trial against Duterte-Carpio will not start until the upper champer resumes session in July.IMT
