In a privilege speech, Dela Rosa accused the House of Representatives of 聽 circumventing the Constitution with its 鈥渋ntentional inaction鈥� on the first three impeachment聽 complaints lodged against Duterte in December 2024.

It was the fourth impeachment case against Duterte聽 that was transmitted to the Senate for trial last February 5.

鈥淚f the first three impeachment complaints passed through Edsa, it appears that the House of Representatives chose the Skyway聽 as the path of the fourth one en route to the Senate,鈥� Dela Rosa said in Filipino.

Had the House of Representatives complied with its own rules and聽 the Constitution, he said, the first three impeachment聽 complaints would have been referred to the appropriate committee by the time the fourth impeachment complaint was filed.聽

鈥淚n other words, your Honors, the intentional inaction of the House of Representatives allowed its members to purportedly circumvent the one-year ban enshrined in Article XI, Section 3 paragraph 5 of the Constitution,鈥� the Dela Rosa pointed out.

鈥淕iven the glaring circumvention of the Constitution, should we allow impeachment complaints which are Constitutionally-infirm to be heard and tried by this body?鈥� he then asked.

In the end, Dela Rosa later moved for the dismissal of聽 impeachment case against the Vice President.

鈥淚 respectfully move that, in view of its Constitutional infirmities聽聽and聽聽question on the jurisdiction and authority聽聽of the 20th Congress, the verified impeachment聽聽complaint聽聽against聽聽Vice President Sara Duterte be dismissed,鈥� he said.

After聽 his speech,聽 Dela Rosa called on Sen. Christopher 鈥淏ong鈥� Go, who agreed with his motion.

But even before Go could proceed, Senate President Francis 鈥淐hiz鈥� Escudero reminded the latter that he was not recognized yet to speak on the floor.
