                    [Title] => House opposition studies CBCP push for impeachment
                    [Summary] => Opposition congressmen decided yesterday to study the proposal of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) advocating the initiation of an impeachment process against embattled President Arroyo.


They made the decision in a meeting at a Quezon City restaurant a day after the bishops group refused to join calls for the President to resign but called for impeachment proceedings or a "truth commission" to further investigate the allegations raised by the "Gloriagate" tapes.

"It remains to be a trap. The moment we heed their (administration congressmen’s) repeated prodding to go into it, they will just kill the impeachment complaint to protect GMA and prolong her embattled presidency," House Minority Leader Francis Escudero said yesterday.

The legitimacy of President Arroyo, not her controversial husband, "is the issue," opposition members of the House of Representatives said yesterday.


"It is cheating in the last elections and her legitimacy that the President should confront and explain to the people," House Minority Leader Francis Escudero said. "The alleged decision of her husband to go abroad voluntarily will not diminish these concerns."

Deputy Speaker Benigno Aquino III declared the session open promptly at 4 p.m. But just seconds after doing so, he ordered a suspension since fewer than 60 congressmen were present in the session hall.
