Civil society groups and complainants are preparing to re-file and expand the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte once the one-year ban lapses next month.
The move follows a whistleblower affidavit from Ramil Lagunoy Madriaga, who claims he was Duterte’s “bagman” and that her 2022 campaign funds came from drug lords and POGO operators.
Rep. Antonio Tinio said complainants are coordinating their next steps, emphasizing that there is still time before President Marcos enters the latter half of his term.
The Supreme Court had previously ruled the impeachment invalid, but the appeal is still pending, leaving room for a new complaint.
Opposition lawmakers, including Leila de Lima, have called on the Ombudsman to verify the allegations in the affidavit.
