MANILA, Philippines – The Home justice committee convenes on Monday, February 2, to deliberate on the impeachment complaints in opposition to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr..

Two complaints are set to be consolidated into one by the panel chaired by Batangas 2nd District Consultant Gerville “Jinky” Luistro.

The petitions have been endorsed individually by Pusong Pinoy Consultant Jett Nisay and the three-member Makabayan bloc, composed of ACT Lecturers Consultant Antonio Tinio, Gabriela Consultant Sarah Elago, and Kabataan Consultant Renee Co.

Each complaints cited Marcos’ function within the public works scandal and the general finances mess, however Nisay’s petition additionally desires the President faraway from workplace for allegedly enabling the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte who was then delivered to The Hague, and the President’s alleged drug dependancy.

Monday’s deliberations by the justice committee are set to zero in on the sufficiency of the complaints in kind and substance.

If the consolidated grievance fails to cross both take a look at, will probably be dismissed, incomes the President a one-year immunity from impeachment.

If the committee finds the grievance ample, it’s going to notify the President of the allegations and provides him time to reply to the allegations.
