SC DECLARES AS UNCONSTITUTIONAL ₱449.5B IN UNPROGRAMMED FUNDS IN 2024 BUDGET

BREAKING: The Supreme Court declares unconstitutional Congress’s ₱449.5-billion increase in unprogrammed appropriations in the 2024 national budget.

In a decision announced Tuesday, Oct. 20, the high court also voided the ₱17.99-billion increase in the Public Woks Department's Special Road Fund in the 2025 budget.

The SC also struck down provisions on unprogrammed appropriations in the current budget.

The court clarified that unprogrammed appropriations are not unconstitutional by themselves but must comply with constitutional limits and fiscal safeguards.

🚨BREAKING:🚨 The Trump administration is reportedly in talks with Brazil and The International Criminal Court for asylum for former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and former Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte respectively, two fellow right-wing leaders and longtime political allies of President Trump who are currently imprisoned on charges that many consider to be unjust and politically motivated. CIA Director John Ratcliffe is reportedly a major part of this effort behind the scenes to get Bolsonaro and Duterte out of prison and into The United States to be granted political asylum and President Trump himself is said to be threatening SEVERE, UNPRECEDENTED SANCTIONS on Brazil and The ICC should they fail to turn the two conservative leaders over. Raise your hand if YOU want to see these two great men freed from the lawfare and leftist persecution that they are currently being subjected to and given a heroes' welcome into The United States by our great President Trump. 💪🏻🔥🇺🇸

[REPOSTED]

Democracy rests on a quiet faith: that citizens, guided by law, can govern themselves. This is not naïve—it’s constitutional. Checks and balances do not promise perfection, but they aim for justice.

Read our full statement on Duterte v. House of Representatives.

[Philippine Supreme Court Public Information Office @SCPh_PIO]

The #SupremeCourtPH (SC) En Banc, during its session today, July 25, 2025, unanimously declared the Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Sara Z. Duterte unconstitutional, noting that it is barred by the one-year rule under Article XI, Section 3(5) of the Constitution and that it violates the right to due process enshrined in the Bill of Rights. Therefore, the Senate could not acquire jurisdiction over the impeachment proceedings.

However, the SC said it is not absolving Vice President Duterte from any of the charges against her. But any subsequent impeachment complaint may only be filed starting February 6, 2026.

The ruling of the SC is immediately executory. It shall be deemed served on the petitioners and promulgated upon publication in the SC website and receipt of the parties of their digital copy in accordance with A.M. No. 25-05-16-SC or the Guidelines on the Transition to Electronic Filing in the Supreme Court.

The case stemmed from four impeachment complaints against Vice President Duterte. The first three were filed before the House of Representatives (HOR) by private individuals and different groups on December 2, 4, and 19, 2024.

A fourth complaint was lodged by a resolution approved by more than one-third of the HOR members of the 19th Congress on February 5, 2025, which was transmitted as the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate on the same day. This was followed by two petitions filed before the SC challenging its constitutionality.

The SC voted 13-0-2, with the Justices present voting unanimously to grant the petitions to annul the Articles of Impeachment, and Justice Alfredo Benjamin S. Caguioa inhibiting and Justice Maria Filomena D. Singh on leave.

The Decision, written by Senior Associate Justice Marvic M.V.F. Leonen, ruled that all legal issues involving impeachment proceedings are subject to judicial review, “considering the nature of the offices and the institutions that are subject to impeachment, its effect on the independence of constitutional departments and organs, and its nature as a constitutional process.”

In declaring that the Articles of Impeachment were barred by the one-year rule, the Decision differentiated the first three complaints from the fourth complaint. The first three, it said, were filed under Article XI, Section 3(2) of the Constitution which allows any citizen to file a verified complaint with an endorsement by any HOR member. The fourth one was through Article XI, Section 3(4) of the Constitution through a verified complaint or resolution filed by at least one-third of the HOR members.

The SC took note that the HOR in the 19th Congress did not act on the first three endorsed complaints, which were considered “terminated or dismissed” upon the adjournment of the HOR.

The SC also determined that due process applies to the impeachment process. It laid down the following due process requirements in impeachment proceedings:

1. The Articles of Impeachment or resolution must include evidence when shared with HOR members, especially those who are considering its endorsement.

2. The evidence should be sufficient to prove the charges in the Articles of Impeachment.

3. The Articles of Impeachment and the supporting evidence should be available to all members of the HOR, not only those who are being considered to endorse.

4. The respondent in the impeachment complaint should have been given a chance to be heard on the Articles of Impeachment and the supporting evidence to prove the charges prior to its transmittal to the Senate, despite the number of endorsements from HOR members.

5. The HOR must be given a reasonable time to reach their independent decision of whether they will endorse an impeachment complaint. The SC, however, has the power to review whether this period is sufficient, but petitioner—who invokes the SC’s power to review—should prove that officials failed to perform their duties properly.

6. The basis of any charge must be for impeachable acts or omissions committed in relation to their office and during the current term of the impeachable officer. For the President and Vice President, these acts must be sufficiently grave amounting to the crimes described in Article XI, Section 2 or a betrayal of public trust given by the majority of the electorate. For the other impeachable officers, the acts must be sufficiently grave that they undermine and outweigh the respect for their constitutional independence and autonomy.

7. To ensure that respondent in the impeachment complaint is heard, the HOR is required to:

(a) Provide a copy of the Articles of Impeachment and its accompanying evidence to the respondent to give him/her an opportunity to respond within a reasonable period to be determined by the HOR rules. The Constitution only requires an opportunity to be heard. It is up the respondent to waive this fundamental right and opt to present his/her evidence at the Senate trial; and

(b) Make the Articles of Impeachment, with its accompanying evidence and the comment of the respondent, available to all the members of the HOR. It is the HOR—not one-third of the HOR—that has the sole prerogative to initiate impeachment complaints. Thus, there must be some modicum of deliberation so that each member representing their constituents can be heard and thus convince others of their position. The transmittal however will only take place upon the qualified vote of one-third of the HOR.

@elonmusk Look at what Europe @IntlCrimCourt did to our President Duterte of the Philippines. Kidnap him and file charges because he fights drugs and criminals. Fighting criminals is now a crime against humanity. The very campaign promise of Duterte. @FoxNews @CNN @BBCWorld @AP
