Why this petition matters

Started by Gilbert Gatmaitan

Ladies and gentlemen of the House members and our beloved countrymen,

On this day, we will practice our rights as mandated by the 1987 Philippine Constitution, to do our task to protect the sovereignty of our country against the unconstitutional act of our very own president, Mr. Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

The respondent has violated the following law:

Article XII Section 2: The State shall protect the nation’s marine wealth in its archipelagic waters, territorial sea, and exclusive economic zone, and reserve its use and enjoyment exclusively to Filipino citizens.

He had clearly violated as he lets Chinese vessels fish on our exclusive economic zone. No one is above the law, and that includes even the President of the Philippines and as a citizen of this country, we must abide to the given laws at all cost. We will start an online petition to impeach the respondent and we need the cooperation of our Filipino citizens to conduct the impeachment trial in accordance with the law. We also need the endorsement of any members of the House of Representatives for this petition to continue.

As part of the Filipino youth, we have the power to practice our rights as stated in Article 2 Section 13 of the Philippine 1987 Constitution : "The State recognizes the vital role of the youth in nation-building and shall promote and protect their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being. It shall inculcate in the youth patriotism and nationalism, and encourage their involvement in public and civic affairs."

We, after being sworn in accordance with law, depose and state: That we are the complainants in the above-entitled complaint/resolution of impeachment; that we have caused the said complaint/resolution to be prepared and have read the contents thereof; and that the allegations therein are true of our own knowledge and belief on the basis of our reading and appreciation of documents and other records pertinent thereto.
