House declares Bautista impeachment ‘moot’

THE House committee on justice of the House of Representatives has deemed the impeachment complaint filed against Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman Juan Andres Bautista “moot and academic” following President Rodrigo Duterte’s acceptance of his resignation.

Bautista stepped down from his post after receiving a letter from the President informing him that his resignation was accepted and that it was “effective immediately.”
