An ethics complaint has been filed against Senator Pia Cayetano over a spliced video of House Prosecutor Rep. Chel Diokno, which she shared during the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte. The complaint was submitted by Patricia “Tatti” Licaunan, a former chairperson of the Commission on Higher Education, according to news reports (newsinfo.inquirer.net).

The video, which was allegedly edited, is said to have been used by Cayetano to support her arguments during the ongoing impeachment proceedings. Licaunan claims the video was manipulated to misrepresent Diokno’s statements. The complaint alleges ethical violations related to the use of misleading visual evidence in a formal legal process.

The Ethics Office of the Senate is expected to review the complaint and determine whether Cayetano violated any rules or guidelines. The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte has been a contentious political issue, with multiple allegations of misconduct and corruption under investigation.

The case highlights growing concerns about the integrity of evidence presented during high-profile political trials in the Philippines.
