00:00After the House Secretary-General verified the three impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte,
00:08in the middle, the Secretary-General denied that she did not take action on the complaints.
00:13Witness Tina Panganiban-Perez.
00:19After the Office of the Secretary-General of the House of Representatives verified the three impeachment complaints
00:25against Vice President Sara Duterte, the Secretary-General denied that she did not take action on the complaints
00:32As soon as the complaint is filed, our legal department immediately investigated it.
00:40So, as of today, it has all been verified. The three can be transmitted.
00:46Congress will return to session on Monday,
00:49but the Secretary-General of the House of Representatives' target is to transmit the impeachment complaints to the Office of the Speaker on Wednesday.
00:57She planned to talk to the congressmen who told her that they will file four impeachment complaints
01:05or endorse one of the complaints.
01:09How will you respond to impressions that you are filing the impeachment complaints?
01:17Not really.
01:19Because, you know, the House of Representatives cannot act on it until there is a session, which is January 13.
01:31So, the House will not do anything if they are still on break.
01:37One way or another, I have to transmit the complaint or complaints to the Office of the Speaker.
01:45It's like negligence on my part if I will not act on these complaints.
01:53I explained to Velasco that there is no deadline on the Rules on Impeachment of the Camera
01:59to transmit the complaints to the Office of the Speaker.
02:03More than one complaint was filed against an impeachable official.
02:10Once the impeachment complaint has been transmitted to the Office of the Speaker,
02:14there will be 10 session days for the Speaker to include it in the Order of Business or the discussions in the plenary.
02:22After that, there will be three session days for the plenary to refer it to the House Committee on Justice.
02:29There will be 60 session days for the committee to decide if the complaints are sufficient in form and substance.
02:36When the report of the committee comes to the plenary, it needs to be acted on within 60 session days.
02:42But counting the session days is not like counting the days in the calendar.
02:48Our session days in low-level prisons are not absolute counting.
02:52There are days on Mondays when there will be a convening and it will not be adjourned.
02:57It will be adjourned on either Wednesday.
03:01Even if it is three session days, the count in the records is only one session day.
03:06It is possible that the term of the current Congress has ended because the impeachment complaints have not yet been decided.
03:14That is why the endorser called for the first complaint.
03:17The impeachment complaint that we filed has already been mansaried.
03:21One month is too long.
03:23One month without holding Sara accountable is giving a very bad example to other government officials,
03:34public officials, that the abuse of power should be punished.
03:38We are still trying to get the report of VP Sara.
03:42But she already said that she is ready to face and answer the allegations.
03:47For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez is your witness.
