Batangas Representative Gerville Luistro commented on the recent minor changes in House committee leadership, asserting that they are likely not connected to the ongoing impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte. In an online interview, Luistro noted that many lawmakers who voted against the impeachment resolution, House Resolution No. 989, have retained their positions, indicating that the changes are part of normal legislative adjustments rather than retaliatory actions. Assistant Majority Leader Ryan Recto moved to reconsider the election of certain vice chairpersons and appoint new chairpersons for various committees. Notably, the representatives who lost their positions—Southern Leyte Rep. Roger Mercado, Agusan del Norte Rep. Dale Corvera, and Laguna Rep. Ramil Hernandez—had all voted against the impeachment articles. In contrast, several lawmakers who opposed the impeachment retained their leadership roles, suggesting a lack of direct correlation between the impeachment vote and the committee changes. This marks the first removal of a House official during Speaker Faustino Dy's tenure, with no official explanation provided for the changes.
