(From Supreme Court) May 27, 2021 (UPDATED) Voting 37-0 with zero abstentions among those present virtually, the House of Representatives committee on justice on Thursday, May 27, 2021, dismissed outright the impeachment complaint against Supreme Court Associate Justice Mario Victor Leonen, after determining that it is based on hearsay and is not based on authentic records.
“What we have, in sum, is an ‘unsigned’ impeachment complaint that is provided for in Section 3, third paragraph, due to the failure of the complainant to verify his allegations as true and correct based on his personal knowledge, or authentic records,” committee chairman Leyte 3rd District Vicente S.F. Veloso said.
