According to the group that filed the impeachment complaint, they wanted VP Sara removed from office for culpable violation of the Constitution, betrayal of public trust, and other high crimes.

“Vice President Duterte deserves to be impeached for her abuse of power and plunder of the nation’s coffers. The Filipino people deserve a vice president who is ethical, accountable, and committed to public service — not one who weaponises authority for personal gain,” says Perci Cendaña, Akbayan Representative, in a statement.

"The majority of the grounds are here," says former Senator Leila De Lima, who accompanied the group filing the impeachment charge, though wasn't a party to the complaint itself.

Earlier, President Bongbong Marcos admitted that he texted some members of the House of Representatves not to file impeachment coplaints against VP Sara.

“In the larger scheme of things, Sara is unimportant. So please do not file impeachment complaints,” a leaked text message of the President reads.

Bataan 1st District Representative Geraldine Roman, who said that she has received said text message, agreed with the President.

“There are some representatives who want to continue with an impeachment move, but it’s a game of numbers here in the House. Personally, most probably, I won’t support that because I agree with the President that we should focus on more important things,” Cong. Roman said in a statement.
