IMPEACH SARA GATHERING ON JAN. 31 AT EDSA
A “Gathering for Accountability: Impeach Sara! Protect the Nation’s Coffers!” will be held on January 31, 2025, 9 a.m. at the People Power Monument in EDSA.
In a unified call for justice and accountability, the complainants behind the first impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte—along with progressive political parties, social movements, sectoral organizations and religious leaders—will urge the House of Representatives to fulfill its constitutional mandate.
The group will demand urgent action on the impeachment complaints filed against Vice President Duterte, asserting that the citizens have done their part by filing these complaints. It is now up to Congress to uphold accountability and good governance by acting decisively, the group said.
The event will also serve as a strong call on the public to safeguard the nation’s coffers from further plunder and abuse by condemning the Vice President’s alleged gross misuse of confidential and intelligence funds, as well as the alleged grave budget misappropriations in the recently passed national government budget, the group added.
Organizers expect at least 5,000 participants to attend.
Among the prominent figures and groups leading this call to action are: Tindig Pilipinas; Akbayan Party-list and its House Representative Perci Cendaña, endorser of the first impeachment complaint; ML Party-list leader Third Nominee Erin Tañada; Magdalo Party-list Second Nominee Eugene Gonzales; Father Robert Reyes; Father Flavie Villanueva, SVD; Kiko Aquino Dee; Sonny Matula of the Nagkaisa Labor Coalition; leaders from SIKLAB, Kalipunan, Student Council Alliance of the Philippines (SCAP), ASAP, Akbayan Youth and many more.
The event will feature a mass, testimonials from the impeachment complainants, statements from key political and sectoral leaders, cultural presentations, and a collective call for transparency and justice.
The gathering will highlight the critical role of an engaged citizenry in holding public officials accountable for their actions.
Afterwards, a concert rally will commence at the Edsa Shrine at 2 p.m. organized by the Citizens and Clergy for Good Governance (CCGG).
