On March 16, 2017, Gary Alejano, an opposition lawmaker, filed an impeachment complaint against Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte,[1] citing of the thousands of deaths in his crackdown on drug abuse and alleged corruption. The House Justice committee officially threw out the charge by unanimous vote[2]. West Philippine / South China SeaLater, Alejano added changes about his relations with China, saying:"He utterly failed and/or refused to assert the country's exclusive sovereign rights and maritime rights and territorial claims over Benham Rise and Panatag Shoal and the rest of the West Philippine Sea."[3][4] In response to the allegations, Duterte sent the Philippine Navy to occupy several "disputed" islands.[5][6] Renewed grounds for impeachment, May 2018In May 2018, former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay asserted that Duterte may be impeached if he fails to protect the country's territory in the West Philippine Sea.[7] This comment followed reports that the Chinese Army had installed anti-ship and air-to-air defenses on outposts also claimed by Vietnam and the Philippines over the previous last 30 days. Duterte has been under harsh criticism for its ineffectual policy of appeasement with the Chinese government. In response, Duterte claimed to the press that Chinese President Xi Jinping swore to protect him from moves that will result in his removal from office. "The assurances of Xi Jinping were very encouraging...'We will not allow you to be taken out from your office, and we will not allow the Philippines to go to the dogs,'" Duterte said.[8] In addition, the controversial and politically-motivated ouster of the Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno may provide further grounds for Duterte's removal. On May 16, Duterte said, "if there's one congresswoman or congressman or a single justice who will say I talked to them [regarding Sereno's removal], I can guarantee you, I will resign."[9] In July 2018, former Solicitor General Hilbay further explained that, in his legal opinion, Duterte's inaction may cause the Philippines to lose their legal claim due to the waiver doctrine.[10] Such conduct would constitute a betrayal of public trust, is ground for impeachment: "I'd say it's a culpable violation of the Constitution," Hilbay said. "There's no doubt in my mind as a constitutionalist, as the agent who served as counsel for the Republic, that these are clear betrayals of public trust."[11] See AlsoImpeachment in the PhilippinesReferences1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/duterte-says-hes-not-intimidated-by-impeachment-attempt/2017/03/19/1df574c6-0c9e-11e7-aa57-2ca1b05c41b8_story.html|title=Duterte says he's not intimidated by impeachment attempt|publisher=}} {{Philippines-stub}}2. ^http://cnnphilippines.com/news/2017/05/15/Duterte-impeachment-complaint-dismissed-House-Alejano-Magdalo.html 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/03/30/17/duterte-faces-additional-impeachment-rap-over-china-ties|title=Duterte faces additional impeachment rap over China ties|first=ABS-CBN|last=News|publisher=}} 4. ^http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article58646.html 5. ^https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-39519160 6. ^http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/06/asia/philippines-duterte-south-china-sea/ 7. ^http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/05/08/18/duterte-risks-impeachment-over-failure-to-protect-west-ph-sea-says-ex-solgen 8. ^http://cnnphilippines.com/news/2018/05/15/rodrigo-duterte-xi-jinping-south-china-sea-ouster.html 9. ^https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2018/05/17/1816101/sereno-duterte-vow-quit-if-proven-he-had-hand-ouster-resign 10. ^http://cnnphilippines.com/news/2018/07/12/former-solgen-florin-hilbay-china-foreign-policy-betrayal-public-trust-impeachment.html 11. ^http://cnnphilippines.com/news/2018/07/12/former-solgen-florin-hilbay-china-foreign-policy-betrayal-public-trust-impeachment.html 1 : Presidency of Rodrigo Duterte |
