US EditionMarcos impeachment raps advance in House panel; VP faces fresh ouster bids - BusinessWorld Online
- On February 3 the House justice committee reconvened to assess whether the impeachment complaints against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. are sufficient in substance, deferring the vote to February 4.
- Filed by a lawyer and activists, the petitions allege multiple abuses including corruption, betrayal of public trust, and constitutional violations, with charges of flood-control graft, drug use, and Duterte's arrest handed to the ICC.
- Debate over authenticity and notarization slowed the hearing, with Rep. Leila de Lima's motion and Rep. Rufus Rodriguez raising concerns.
- If the committee advances a complaint, Marcos would be notified and given time to respond, and the House could send the case to the Senate where 24 senators serve as jurors.
- Palace spokespeople say the administration respects the process while stressing Marcos denies wrongdoing and worries about economic effects, with Presidential press officer Claire Castro noting he `did not do anything wrong`.
