Catholic priests and lawyers filed the third impeachment complaint against Duterte last week, citing as grounds her misuse of hundreds of millions of pesos of her confidential funds, including when she was secretary of DepEd.

"We made an inventory of cases based on what we read in media, based on interviews on agencies of government, House of Representatives, Department of Justice, NBI and PNP. And then each case there is an assigned lawyer to handle the case," the Vice President said.

While she remains confident about her defense as she "did not break any laws," Duterte earlier said she was uncertain about the political aspect of her legal woes.
