00:56This is the responsibility of our institution.
01:00They have to give this complaint a fair chance and a fair day in court.
01:06This is a very important process and I'm sure the complaint merits
01:13in the lower house and upper house to make time.
01:16The grounds of impeachment included culpable violation of the Constitution and graft and corruption,
01:23bribery, betrayal of the public trust, and other high crimes.
01:27Twenty-four articles of impeachment,
01:30including the confidential funds of the office of the Vice President and the Department of Education,
01:37were filed against Vice President Sara Duterte.
01:40It also included hijacking of a laptop and other electronic devices in the Department of Education.

02:02and Vice President Duterte's involvement in the life of the President.
02:06In his Zoom press conference on November 23, he was accused of betrayal of public trust and high crimes.
02:12Among the articles are the misuse, the failure to account,
02:18the intel and confidential funds of both the office of the Vice President
02:24and also of the Department of Education.

02:53they will investigate the complaint based on the allegations of the impeachment process and will bring it to the House Speaker.
03:01The last session of the House will be held on December 21 before they adjourn.
03:06We have 10 days to acconent, 10 session days.
03:11So if we file it now, it's not enough because it's only 9 session days.
03:18Sendania believes that the limited time of the House to discuss the impeachment complaint is not just a hindrance to the impeachment.
03:26This impeachment complaint is important to start the real step process towards holding the Vice President accountable.
03:36We just need to remember that if not now, when else?

03:46First Lady Liza Marcos and House Speaker Martin Romualdez,
03:50the NBI ordered their investigation on December 11 after the Vice President did not attend last week.
