Déjà vu: House will try to impeach VP Sara Duterte again
MANILA, Philippines – The House of Representatives transmitted the four impeachment complaints filed against Vice President Sara Duterte to the justice committee on Monday, February 23, putting the country’s second top official in a familiar predicament from last year.
Referral of the petitions to the panel, as per Supreme Court jurisprudence, indicates that the impeachment proceedings against the Vice President have been officially initiated.
The House, however, is taking the long route this time, ensuring a more tedious process to have the Vice President indicted for her alleged offenses.
If the petitions pass the preliminary test of form and substance, the justice committee will be compelled to try to get the Vice President’s formal response to the allegations, and even invite her to the hearings. The panel has a maximum of 60 session days to wrap up its investigation.
Last year, an impeachment complaint against the Vice President was swiftly transmitted to the Senate since it was signed by more than one-third of all House members. Because the impeachment advocates had the numbers, they were able to avail of the fast-track mode under the 1987 Constitution.
That impeachment bid, however, stalled in the Senate, and was ultimately declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, which faulted the House for failing to act on the first three complaints against the Vice President, thereby resulting in the violation of the constitutional one-year bar.
This year, the three impeachment complaints were endorsed by a total of eight lawmakers, a far cry from the 215 congressional endorsers in 2025.
The endorsers this year, however, include Deputy Speaker Paolo Ortega and Manila 6th District Representative Bienvenido Abante, signaling that the effort has the potential backing of the majority, although Ortega insisted his endorsement is his personal decision.
The refiled petitions echo arguments raised in the complaints last year — that Duterte should be removed from office for her alleged misuse of confidential funds, and bribery of education officials.
At least one of the three complaints also cited the following offenses: her alleged unexplained wealth, her supposed role in the extrajudicial killings in Davao, her apparent threats to the life of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his family, and her apparent refusal to recognize the House’s authority during budget deliberations.
The initiation of the impeachment proceedings against the Vice President comes just hours before her detained father, former president Rodrigo Duterte, undergoes a pre-trial hearing at the International Criminal Court in The Hague to confirm the charges against him. – Rappler.com

Exploring Market Buzz: Unique Opportunities in Cryptocurrencies
In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, recent developments have sparked significant interest. A closer look at pricing forecasts for Cardano (ADA) and rumors surrounding a Solana (SOL) ETF, coupled with the emergence of a promising new entrant, Layer Brett, reveals a complex market dynamic. Cardano's Prospects: A Closer Look Cardano, a stalwart in the blockchain space, continues to hold its ground with its research-driven development strategy. The latest price predictions for ADA suggest potential gains, predicting a double or even quadruple increase in its valuation. Despite these optimistic forecasts, the allure of exponential gains drives traders toward more speculative ventures. The Buzz Around Solana ETF The potential introduction of a Solana ETF has the crypto community abuzz, potentially catapulting SOL prices to new heights. As investors await regulatory decisions, the impact of such an ETF on Solana's value could be substantial, potentially reaching up to $300. However, as with Cardano, the substantial market capitalization of Solana may temper its growth potential. Why Layer Brett is Gaining Traction Amidst established names, a new contender, Layer Brett, has started to capture the market's attention with its early presale stages. Offering a low entry price of just $0.0058 and promising over 700% in staking rewards, Layer Brett presents a tempting proposition for those looking to maximize returns. Comparative Analysis: ADA, SOL, and $LBRETT While both ADA and SOL offer stable investment choices with reliable growth, Layer Brett emerges as a high-risk, high-reward option that could potentially offer significantly higher returns due to its nascent market position and aggressive economic model. Initial presale pricing lets investors get in on the ground floor. Staking rewards currently exceed 690%, a persuasive incentive for early adopters. Backed by Ethereum's Layer 2 for enhanced transaction speed and reduced costs. A community-focused $1 million giveaway to further drive engagement and investor interest. Predicted by some analysts to offer up to 50x returns in coming years. Shifting Sands: Investor Movements As the crypto market landscape shifts, many investors, including those traditionally holding ADA and SOL, are beginning to diversify their portfolios by turning to high-potential opportunities like Layer Brett. The combination of strategic presale pricing and significant staking rewards is creating a momentum of its own. Act Fast: Time-Sensitive Opportunities As September progresses, opportunities to capitalize on these low entry points and high yield offerings from Layer Brett are likely to diminish. With increasing attention and funds being directed towards this new asset, the window to act is closing quickly. Invest in Layer Brett now to secure your position before the next price hike and staking rewards reduction.
