Marcos blamed for blocking impeachment complaints vs Sara

La Union Rep. Paolo Ortega dismisses claims that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is the one blocking the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte. The Makabayan Block said on Jan. 22, 2025 that the impeachment complaints have been pending at the Office of the House Secretary General for a month. Ortega said that 'anything can happen' in the last two weeks before the session adjourns to pave the way for the campaign period.

00:10he said that it's not acceptable to have an impeachment. That's the President's statement.
00:18The Makabayan Block has already high-fived their impeachment complaint.
00:25They said that they're still waiting for other complaints so that it can be delayed, if ever, if we still have time.
00:35That's what's really concerning, the time remaining in the session.
00:40Well, maybe it's not that cold, but it hasn't been discussed yet.
00:47Because of the time element, we haven't been able to meet him yet.
00:56But, again, as I said, we still have two weeks, so a lot can happen.

01:07None.
01:08That's what it is.
01:10Anyone can file an impeachment, or any bill.
01:15It won't be blocked.
01:17Because it's a legislative exercise, a legislative process.
