House Receives First 2026 Impeachment Complaint Against President Marcos
The complaint cites constitutional violations, graft linked to flood control, and alleged betrayal of public trust involving former President Duterte’s ICC arrest, filed by lawyer Andre De Jesus.
- On Monday, January 19, lawyer Andres de Jesus submitted an impeachment complaint against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to the House Office of the Secretary General, endorsed by Rep. Jett Nisay.
- In recent months public outcry over flood control investigations and budget irregularities tied to manipulating appropriations fueled impeachment calls against President Marcos.
- The complaint describes Duterte's arrest and transfer to the ICC as `kidnapped`, and De Jesus also raised allegations of President Marcos' illegal drug use, questioning his fitness to lead.
- Under House rules, the complaint must be referred to the Office of the Speaker within 10 session days and then to the Committee on Justice, but prospects are uncertain due to House alignment with Marcos and Majority Leader Sandro Marcos.
- The filing comes nearly a year after the lower house impeached Vice President Sara Duterte, though the Supreme Court later voided that vote; Endorser Rep. Jett Nisay was among 215 lawmakers backing her impeachment.
