By Bicol Saro Partylist Rep. Terry Ridon on Saturday said the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte will move forward alongside other pending criminal and administrative complaints against her.
Ridon, House Committee on Public Accounts chairperson, said these include her cases before the Office of the Ombudsman, as well as the obligation to return ₱73 million in confidential funds following the Commission on Audit’s (COA) final ruling on the notice of disallowance.
“Hindi natin puwedeng pagbanggain ang proceedings sa Commission on Audit, Office of the Ombudsman, at House of Representatives dahil magkaiba ang consequences ng bawat isa, kahit pare-pareho ang facts at defenses na pinagbabatayan nila,” he said in a statement.
