Efforts to file an impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte face slim chances of success, according to House Committee on Good Government Chair Joel Chua.
Chua confirmed the existence of potential grounds for impeachment, citing irregularities in the Office of the Vice President’s (OVP) confidential funds. However, he emphasized the difficulty of pursuing impeachment amidst the approaching 2025 election season, where political focus will shift.
Questions surrounding the documentation of confidential funds, including acknowledgment receipts and certifications, remain unresolved. Despite Duterte’s repeated refusals to attend hearings, Chua affirmed that the invitation for her to testify remains open.
This development raises concerns about accountability, with critics arguing that political dynamics may hinder justice.
