Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. temporarily withheld the impeachment proceedings against Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez until the Supreme Court (SC) makes a final ruling on her petition to stop moves in the House of Representatives to oust her.Belmonte’s move came after the SC asked lawmakers to wait until it issues a final ruling on its decision giving the House committee on justice the go-signal to proceed in tackling the two impeachment complaints filed by militant groups against Gutierrez.
