While Makabayan files impeach rap vs Marcos, referral still uncertainMANILA, Philippines — The Makabayan bloc formally endorsed and filed its impeachment complaint against President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Monday, January 26, following the House Office of the Secretary General's refusal to receive it last week. With the impeachment complaint now successfully filed, it becomes the second lodged against the president in just a week. Unlike the first complaint, the second was submitted by 36 members of progressive groups representing workers, professionals, teachers, students, farmers and the urban poor. The complainants cited betrayal of public trust as the sole ground for impeaching President Marcos, alleging three specific instances. With Congress set to resume session on Monday, the first complaint may be referred to the committee then.
