Hindi ito dapat ginagamit sa pamumulitika at maging sanhi ng pagkakawatak-watak.&quot;</p><p>Dy explained that Congress will focus on crafting important legislation as they open the session.</p><p>In a separate statement, Manila Rep. Joel R. Chua, chair of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability, said the House of Representatives will receive and process the impeachment complaint filed against Marcos in accordance to the Constitution and House rules.</p><p>“As with any impeachment complaint, the House of Representatives will accord it the initial consideration required under the Constitution and our Rules,” Chua said.</p><p>He also said that an impeachment is a “grave responsibility”, and that lawmakers should exercise institutional restraint and fairness in handling the complaint.</p><p>“The House will give the complaint the consideration the law requires—but it will also uphold the principle that impeachment must be grounded on serious, demonstrable constitutional violations, not political dissatisfaction,” Chua said.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/nation/2026/1/19/marcos-impeachment-complaint-1004" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">First impeachment complaint filed against Marcos</a></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>
