Which legislative body holds the exclusive power to initiate all cases of impeachment?
The House of Representatives holds the sole and exclusive power to initiate all cases of impeachment against impeachable officials. No other government body or branch can commence the formal impeachment process. This ensures that the initiation of such a significant political exercise begins with the representatives of the people. This exclusive authority is expressly granted in Article XI, Section 3, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 3. (1) The House of Representatives shall have the exclusive power to initiate all cases of impeachment.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
