Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez speaks to journalists during a forum organized by the Catholic Bishops Conference …

MANILA, Philippines - The House of Representatives impeached Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez following a seven-hour marathon session that ended past 1 am today.

House Resolution No.1089 submitted by the House Committee on Justice will form basis of the Articles of Impeachment that will be sent to the Senate which will transform into an impeachment court.

Gutierrez was charged with betrayal of public trust for failing to act or deliberately bungling six high profile cases to insulate former president and Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, her relatives and allies from facing criminal charges.

One of the very common criminal case in the Philippines... No doubt connected ni sa Garcia case. Asa ka ngeta og convicted or graft and corruption that reach to 300M php then gi taga-an og amnesty.

[reptoid]

Those dirty, dirty politicians. Hope they crash & burn sometime soon!

[estor_boot]

nice to see our congressmen working up to 1 AM (rarely happens) except for the 'former hardworking president kuno' who was not on the floor during the interpallation and only came to vote against the impeachment. take a guess who i'm referring to.

[DeathFox]

don't forget na this piece of trash is indirectly responsible for that Manila Hostage crisis

[colby]

That Congressman Niel Tupas, walay ka dating dating mo sulti; it seems na he knows what he will say but he had a hard time putting all the words.

I remember the Congressmen na naging prosecutor sa impeachment ni Erap, lousy kaayo. While Erap's lawyers were all exceptional. Hopefully, ang ila ipadala karon mas better.

OT: Sayang wala naka vote si Pacquiao, obviously he's busy for his next fight. But sayang lang..

Dia ra ang lista kinsa ang nibutar

In a 212-46 vote with four abstentions, the lawmakers early on Tuesday impeached Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez for alleged betrayal of public trust due to the low conviction rates during her term and her supposed inaction on five high-profile cases. This was how the members of the House of Representatives voted:
