BACOLOD CITY – Two lawmakers from the Visayas think the impeachment complaint filed against President Rodrigo Duterte will not prosper despite the claim of Magdalo Rep. Gary Alejano that he has evidence to back his allegations. But he has denied that his move was aimed at destabilizing the Duterte administration. In his complaint, which he filed on Thursday, Alejano accused Duterte of culpable violation of the Constitution, bribery, betrayal of public trust, graft and corruption, and other high creams. ADVERTISEMENTBacolod Rep. Greg Gasataya pointed out that Alejano would not have the numbers in the House of Representatives to back up his complaint. Rep. Roger Mercado of Southern Leyte, chairman of the House Committee on Constitutional Amendments, said the impeachment complaint lacked substance and form.
