The groups, which include Magdalo, Akbayan, Mamamayang Liberal, members of the Catholic Church, and student leaders, want Duterte indicted for betrayal of public trust, culpable violation of the Constitution, and other high crimes. The chamber could process the impeachment complaint against Duterte immediately if it wants, but the filing less than six months before the term of the current lawmakers ends poses potential time constraints for Congress.
House Secretary General Reginald Velasco told reporters on Monday that the complaint is unlikely to be referred to the committee this December, but is not ruling out the possibility that an impeachment vote may take place before the term of the current lawmakers expires.
