                    [Summary] => Rep. Robert Ace Barbers (Lakas, Surigao del Norte) endorsed yesterday the impeachment complaint against Ombudsman Aniano Desierto.


Barbers’ endorsement brought to five the number of House members supporting the complaint filed by lawyer Ernesto Francisco against Desierto.


The case was originally endorsed by Rep. Oscar Moreno (Lakas, Misamis Oriental), a member of the House panel that prosecuted ousted President Joseph Estrada in his aborted Senate impeachment trial.

                    [Summary] => Rep. Oscar Moreno (Lakas, Misamis Oriental) criticized yesterday the proposed impeachment rules of the House of Representatives, saying if these are approved, it would be harder for the chamber to initiate impeachment proceedings.


Moreno told reporters that the draft rules would make the impeachment process more complex and difficult than it was when the House impeached ousted President Joseph Estrada last November.
