MANILA, Philippines — An ethics complaint has been filed against Senator Pia Cayetano over a video she shared during the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte. The complaint alleges that the video included a spliced clip of House Prosecutor Rep. Chel Diokno. The case was submitted by Patricia “Tatti” Licaunan, former chair of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) (cebudailynews.inquirer.net).
The video in question was posted by Cayetano during the ongoing impeachment proceedings, which have drawn significant public attention. The spliced clip is believed to have been used to support claims against Diokno, who is leading the impeachment case. Licaunan’s complaint seeks to address what she describes as a violation of ethical standards in the legislative process.
The complaint highlights concerns about the integrity of the impeachment trial, which has become a focal point of political discourse in the Philippines. While no immediate action has been taken, the filing underscores the growing scrutiny of procedural conduct in high-profile political cases.
The case is currently under review by the appropriate authorities, and further developments are expected in the coming weeks. (newsinfo.inquirer.net)
