Duterte lawyers, allies try filing 3rd impeach complaint vs MarcosFormer Ilocos Sur governor Chavit Singson, lawyer Ferdinand Topacio and other complainants try to file an impeachment complaint against President Bongbong Marcos on Thursday, Jan. 22, 2026. MANILA, Philippines — A third group attempted to file an impeachment complaint against President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Thursday, January 22. But just like the second impeachment complaint filed by progressive groups earlier today, the House Office of the Secretary General (OSG) chose not to receive the third complaint because Secretary General Cheloy Garafil was unavailable. The first impeachment complaint was filed by lawyer Andre de Jesus on January 19 and endorsed by Rep. Jett Nisay (Pusong Pinoy Party-list). If the first complaint is referred to the House justice committee, impeachment proceedings against Marcos would be deemed initiated, triggering the one-year bar that would prevent any further impeachment complaints from being entertained.
