MANILA, Philippines — The House of Representatives' Committee on Justice on Wednesday ruled to subpoena documents from the Office of the Ombudsman and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in relation to its hearing on the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte.
The committee will ask the Ombudsman for Duterte's Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALNs) from 2022 to 2025, 2007 to 2013, 2016 to 2022.
The committee also decided to issue a subpoena duces tecum on the documents of the NBI's investigation on the alleged assassination "threat" by Duterte against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
The committee is conducting the hearing to determine whether there is probable cause to impeach Duterte.
This comes after it found two complaints sufficient in: form, substance, and grounds.
Duterte is charged with alleged culpable violation of the Constitution and betrayal of public trust for her alleged misuse of intelligence funds of the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education. She has denied the accusations.
