Sara impeach raps looms
By Nidz Godino
“Survey results confirm that our democratic institutions must remain responsive to people’s will…this is not just about numbers anymore; it is about restoring faith in governance,” Senior Deputy Speaker Aurelio Gonzales represents Pampanga’s third district, said Senators and members of House of Representatives comprising country’s bicameral Congress will resume session today after nearly a month-long Christmas break, with possibility of House taking up impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio.
House secretary-general Reggie Velasco hinted earlier that House may take up impeachment complaint filed against the Vice President, should there be no more fourth complaint to be filed at Batasang Pambansa complex in Quezon City.
Meanwhile, Iglesia ni Cristo is set to hold rally today in support of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s call last year not to proceed with impeachment of his former running mate, with activities concentrated in cities of Manila and Pasay where classes and work have been suspended.
Gonzales and Deputy Speaker David Suarez earlier said recent Social Weather Stations survey revealing more Filipinos support Duterte impeachment than those who oppose it highlights growing clamor for accountability and transparency in governance.
“Sends clear message: ..Filipinos demand leaders who are accountable and transparent in their actions,” Suarez, represents Quezon province’s second district, said.
Survey conducted among 2,160 respondents nationwide from Dec. 12 to 18 last year, revealed 41 percent of Filipinos support impeachment of the Vice President, while 35 percent are opposed and 19 percent remain undecided.
House Deputy Majority Leader Jude Acidre, represents Tingog party-list, claimed so-called Duterte myth is over, as “Filipinos are saying enough” based on surveys conducted by very reputable pollsters.
“With recent survey results showing 41 percent of Filipinos agreeing with impeachment of VP Duterte and 61 percent supporting quad comm hearings, one thing is crystal clear: so-called Duterte myth has been shattered, add to that consistent drop in VP Duterte’s trust ratings, and it’s obvious that people are fed up…they’re tired of the same old Duterte-style politics culture of impunity, bullying tactics and decisions prioritize power over public service,” Acidre said.
Unlike Senate, lower legislative chamber has only one measure that needs to be passed under priority list of Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC), including those bills the President wants passed at soonest time possible.
The 19th Congress (July 2022 to June 2025) under leadership of Speaker Martin Romualdez has so far produced 166 laws since Marcos took over reins of government in 2022.
“Numbers speak volumes about commitment of this Congress to making difference,” Young Guns, group of neophyte or first-term lawmakers, administration lawmakers and who defend institution against baseless attacks from critics, said in statement.
“From filing of 13,454 measures to enactment of 166 republic acts, this is testament to hard work, dedication and unwavering focus of all 307 House members on addressing needs of Filipino people,” they stressed.
By having produced 166 laws, this means lower chamber, where all but one of the priority measures under LEDAC have been passed, has been passing average of five bills per month for the last 29 months.
