MANILA, Philippines — There is no move to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte at the House of Representatives, its lawmakers said on Wednesday as they urged her to instead answer questions related to use of the funds of the Office of the Vice President (OVP). In the third part of the interview that was supplied by the OVP to members of the media, Duterte claimed that talk regarding impeaching her was "not new," amid an alleged plan to file an impeachment case against her led by ACT Teachers Rep. France Castro over the use of her OVP confidential funds and alleged misuse of Department of Education funds. But during a press conference on Wednesday, Lanao Del Sur 1st District Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong vehemently denied that there were moves to impeach her. "Very simple, Hindi po totoo yan (That is not true)," Adiong said. 1Rider Partylist Rep. Ramon Rodrigo Gutierrez also said that any talk of impeachment did not come from the House itself, but from Duterte. "We do not hear it in Congress, I can guarantee you that," Gutierrez said. Tingog Partylist Rep. Jude Acidre said that he took offense to Duterte bringing up the accusations against lawmakers in a taped video interview. "Kung marami pala siyang sasabihin, e di dapat sinabi na nung nandito sya sa Kongreso (If she has so many things to say, she should have told it in Congress) when we could have made all people mentioned accountable. It is obviously an attempt to divert the issues that could have been properly treated in Congress during the appropriations committee hearing... It is very disheartening," Acidre said.
