Metro Manila, Philippines – Vice President Sara Duterte has sought the dismissal of the complaint filed against her in her response to the Impeachment Court summons.
Duterte submitted an answer ad cautelam on Monday, June 23, the final day of the 10-day period set by the court. In the document, she said that by filing a response, she is not waiving her jurisdictional or any other legal objections to the case.
She also urged the Impeachment Court to dismiss the complaint, arguing that it is the fourth filed against her within a year and is therefore void ab initio – or void from the beginning – for violating the Constitution’s one-year ban on filing successive impeachment complaints.
A snippet of the document was first released by the House of Representatives after it received a copy at 3:53 p.m.
