Another Impeachment Case...

4th Impeachment Case vs GMA Filed in the House
By EDMER F. PANESA/ Manila Bulletin

Administration critics yesterday lodged a new impeachment complaint at the House of Representatives against President Arroyo, signaling the start of the so-called "impeachment season."

The 97-page complaint, filed by 19 individuals led by businessman Jose "Joey" de Venecia III and endorsed by three partylist lawmakers, is the fourth impeachment try against Mrs. Arroyo in four years.

The Chief Executive has survived three attempts to impeach her in the past three years, including one that accused her of rigging the 2004 presidential election with the help of then Elections Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano and some loyal generals.

According to the House secretariat, the De Venecia complaint is the first to be "accepted" by the House since the one-year ban on the filing of a new complaint against the President expired last Saturday. For the rest of the story click here.

My thoughts---nothing will come out of it. They simply don't have the numbers in Congress. This is a futile exercise. We have no choice but wait til 2010.
