The Makabayan and Akbayan party-lists made the call after a group of clergy and lawyers filed on Thursday the third and possibly last impeachment case against Duterte, citing as grounds her alleged anomalous disbursement of her confidential funds amounting to more than P600 million.
In a statement, Makabayan bloc Reps. France Castro (ACT Teachers), Arlene Brosas (Gabriela Women's party) and Raoul Manuel (Kabataan) said the filing of the third impeachment complaint has strengthened the call for accountability for misuse of taxpayers' money like confidential funds.
"The filing of three separate impeachment complaints from various sectors of society shows the gravity of VP Sara Duterte's misuse of P612.5 million in confidential funds. We can no longer allow this kind of grave abuse of public funds to pass," Castro said.
For her part, Brosas said the House, led by Speaker Martin Romualdez, must immediately act on all three impeachment complaints against Duterte.
