MANILA, Philippines – Hiniling ng Kamara nitong Lunes, Agosto 4, sa Korte Suprema na baliktarin ang desisyon nitong nagbabasura sa impeachment case laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte sa pagsasabing dapat nitong payagang gawin ang exclusive duty na litisin ang isang impeachable official at subukin ng Senado ang kaso nito batay sa nakasaad sa Konstitusyon.
“The House is not asking this Honorable Court to favor any one political result. Indeed, there are no convictions or acquittals at play yet, as the Senate has not even begun to conduct the trial-proper. It only asks that this Honorable Court allow Congress to perform the duties the Constitution asks of both its chambers to initiate an impeachment proceeding for the House, and to try the same, for the Senate,” sinabi ng Kamara sa inihaing motion for reconsideration.
“The House asks this Honorable Court not to stand with a certain political faction or another, but to uphold the Constitution, which gives life to all the institutions of government, and with the people, who in turn, are the true sovereign, and to whom all accountability, trust, and power, are owed. Wherefore, premises considered, Respondents respectfully pray that the Honorable Court reverse the immediately executory nature of its July 25, 2025 Decision, and, after due proceedings, reconsider the same and dismiss the Petitions, for lack of merit,” dagdag pa.
