House committee votes 38-10 to impeach Justice Del Castillo

MANILA, Philippines–The House committee on justice on Tuesday voted 38 to 10 with no abstention finding probable cause to impeach Supreme Court Associate Justice Mariano del Castillo for plagiarism.

The complaint filed by the so-called “comfort women” will now go to plenary where it is likely to be approved by the House dominated by allies of President Aquino.
