1SAMBAYAN stands unequivocally in full support of the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte. This is not a political harassment or strategy — it is a moral and constitutional imperative well documented and based on undisputed facts. When the second-highest official of the land stands accused of offenses that strike at the very heart of our Republic, silence is complicity.
The evidence speaks for itself, it is overwhelming, shocking, and undeniable:
- P612 MILLION in Confidential and Intelligence Funds spent with zero transparency, accountability, or proper documentation.
- P125 MILLION — public money entrusted for security and service — liquidated in less than 24 hours, a physical and logistical impossibility that screams irregularity.
- Receipts and documents submitted to justify spending bearing names of persons who do not even exist.
- SALN declarations showing ZERO cash or bank deposits over five years, while AMLA official records flag P6.77 BILLION in suspicious transactions linked to her personal and family accounts.
- Public threats against the highest officials of the land and institutions — acts that instill fear, incite division, and openly defy the very Constitution she swore to uphold.
These are not mere administrative lapses. These are acts of betrayal of public trust, culpable violations of the Constitution, and clear misdeeds warranting removal from office.
To allow someone accused of such grave offenses to remain in power is to tell every Filipino that corruption pays, that accountability is optional and that the law does not apply to the rich and powerful. It tells the youth that public service is just a means for self-enrichment. It tells the poor that their taxes can be stolen with impunity.
Enough is enough. We call on all citizens, lawmakers, and defenders of truth to stand firm. The impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte is our chance to prove that in the Philippines, NO ONE is above the law — not even the Vice President.
