00:00The timing of filing an impeachment complaint is one of the reasons why Vice President Sara Duterte asked the Supreme Court to stop her impeachment trial.
00:10According to the lawyer of the Vice-Senate, Atty. Sheila Sison, they are questioning whether the fourth impeachment complaint, which was endorsed on February 5, is legal,
00:19since there were three complaints that were filed on December 24.
00:24Sison said that the provision in the Constitution that only one impeachment proceeding can be started against an official within a year.
00:32According to Impeachment Prosecutor Isabel Zamora, the filing of an impeachment complaint does not start within a year.
00:40This is contrary to the case of Francisco v. House of Representatives.
00:44In addition, Impeachment Prosecutor Congressman Joel Chua followed the due process in the fourth impeachment.
00:54Supposedly, these three complaints were already verified and ready for transmittal to the Speaker, but never did.
01:04And then suddenly, you see a fourth impeachment complaint that was suddenly referred to the Senate on the last day of the session.
01:16Now, the question that we're asking respectfully the Supreme Court to decide is whether this is permitted.
01:24For us, there was no violation. It was actually the request of the congressmen to look further into the complaints before it be moved to the Committee on Justice.
01:43This is not the first time that this happened. This happened during the time of President Erab.
