MANILA, Philippines — The camp of Vice President Leni Robredo raised doubts about the impartiality of a possible impeachment process after a complaint was filed Wednesday at the House of Representatives. For Gutierrez, however, legal standards must also be observed in the impeachment process, without reducing it to a merely political exercise of numbers. An impeachment complaint against Robredo, a member of the opposition Liberal Party and a vocal critic of Duterte's policies, is seen to prosper. Supporters of defeated vice presidential candidate Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Monday filed an impeachment complaint against Robredo, asking House Speaker Alvarez to endorse it. "It's clear that they are Marcos loyalists so I can't help but draw a line on this impeachment complaint and the Marcos camp," Gutierrez said, referring to Marcos' ongoing electoral protest case against Robredo.
