The House Justice committee convenes to discuss whether the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte are sufficient in form, on Wednesday, March 4, 2026.
The House Committee on Justice has the authority to subpoena and subsequently examine the bank records of Vice President Sara Duterte, House leaders said Wednesday.
House justice panel chairperson Gerville Luistro of Batangas and House Senior Deputy Minority Leader Leila de Lima of ML party-list said examining Duterte's bank records is now in order after the House justice panel found the impeachment complaints against the Vice President sufficient in substance.
“You will remember that one of the exceptions to the Bank Secrecy Law is [an] impeachment proceeding. This [impeachment proceeding] is an exception to the Bank Secrecy Law, which means we can look in to the records of the bank account [of the Vice President],” Luistro said when asked if issuing a subpoena on the bank records of the Vice President would violate any existing law.
Section 2 of the Bank Secrecy Act states that all bank deposits are confidential, except in some cases including impeachment.
