A second impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte could be 'challenging' given the new composition of the House of Representatives, according to Assistant Majority Leader and Lanao Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong. His statements come as the first-year anniversary of Duterte's impeachment case nears on Feb. 5, 2026 with several lawmakers preparing to file new impeachment cases against her. In an ambush interview with reporters at the House of Representatives, Adiong said that he foresaw that it would be a challenge to gather support for a second impeachment complaint against Duterte.

00:00Well, the reality is that we're already in the halfway of this administration.
00:14Number two is there's a new composition of members in the House of Representatives.
00:17So I foresee that it would be quite challenging to gather that kind of support that we have seen during the previous impeachment complaint.
00:30So that's a reality.
00:33Well, unang-una, naiba yung mga membership sa House of Representatives.
00:38And number two, hindi pa nga natin alam kung anong magiging complaint ng impeachment.
00:42Kung possibly na may maghain.
00:44So it's going to be a different Congress and it's going to be a different way of appreciating and getting support.
00:50Should there be any potential filing of any complaint against the Vice President?
00:55So that's a reality.
00:58Yeah, it's a possibility.
01:00Yeah, it's really, I personally do admit that it's kind of, it would be a much challenging, it's going to be a much challenging process.
01:10Unang-una, sino yung magpa-file, di ba?
01:12Number two, sino yung susuporta doon?
01:14Number three, how can you gather support?
01:16So the third mode as specified in the Constitution, to me, would be very much difficult and would be a challenge.
01:23Should the complaint ay yun ang ninanais na mangyari na direct from the plenary.
01:31Even if it's the same complaint?
01:34I think so, yeah.
01:35I think so, because there are a lot of members who have already graduated in the previous Congress.
01:40So kaya sabi ko nga, it's a different setup, it's a different composition, so the different minds.
01:45Of course, we cannot impose as well, di ba?
01:48No one is actually imposing, even the last Congress.
01:51It's actually voluntarily affixed the signatures of all those members in the previous Congress.
01:56So we can also do, we have to do the same, eh?
01:59We have to lay down all the premises and for the individual members of the Congress to really appreciate that as well.
02:04So they support or not.
02:05Thank you, sir.
02:06Thank you, sir.
02:35Thank you, sir.
