Vice President Sara Duterte of the Philippines has filed a 58-page petition with the Supreme Court seeking to halt the impeachment proceedings initiated against her. She argues that the process is unconstitutional, claiming that the House of Representatives failed to act as a collective body when referring the complaints to the Committee on Justice, which she asserts violates Section 3(2), Article XI of the Constitution. Duterte contends that the impeachment complaints against her, specifically the Saballa and Cabrera complaints, violate the one-year ban rule established by the 1987 Constitution. Furthermore, she accuses the House committee of encroaching on Senate powers and conducting a biased process, which she describes as a “mini-trial.” In her petition, she requests the Supreme Court to issue a temporary restraining order and to declare certain rules of impeachment unconstitutional, effectively seeking to nullify the ongoing proceedings against her.
