MANILA — Members of the House of Representatives' justice panel on Thursday unanimously voted to approve the committee report junking the impeachment complaint against Supreme Court Associate Justice Marvic Leonen.

The same panel last week voted to dismiss the complaint, citing the complainant's lack of personal knowledge and authentic documents to back his allegations— both of which are key requirements for the impeachment proceedings.

"Referred by the Speaker, through plenary, to the Committee on Justice on May 18, 2021, the one-year bar against the filing of impeachment complaints against respondent Associate Justice Leonen starts, therefore, on May 18, 2021," it said. "The committee found the impeachment complaint to be insufficient in form as the allegations therein are not supported by the personal knowledge of the complainant. Neither was it supported by any authentic records."
