AN IMPEACHMENT complaint filed by anti-crime groups against Chief Justice Maria Lourdes P.A. Sereno has been fortified by supporting documents, but it remains to be taken up by an endorser at the House of Representatives. Speaking to reporters Thursday afternoon, Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) President Dante I. Jimenez received the documents earlier requested from and granted by the Supreme Court. The documents are pertinent to the impeachment complaint filed by the VACC and the Vanguard of Philippine Constitution, Inc. (VPCI) last August 2. “We have done our part. That’s not my job as a citizen to beg [for an endorsement],” Mr. Jimenez said. An endorsement by a member of the House of Representatives is needed for the impeachment case to be officially filed before the House committee on justice that will tackle the complaint. — Kristine Joy V.
