MANILA, Philippines — House impeachment prosecutor and Bicol Saro party-list Rep. Terry Ridon said Thursday that lawmakers may file a malicious prosecution case against Vice President Sara Duterte’s husband, lawyer Manases “Mans” Carpio, following the dismissal of Carpio’s complaint against them.

Ridon said the possible legal action would be discussed with his colleagues before any decision is made.

“So, ’yung usapin po ng malicious prosecution, pag-usapan ho namin if kailangan ba naming kasuhan pa si Atty. Mans Carpio dito sa bagay po na ito (we will discuss the issue of malicious prosecution and whether we need to file a case against Atty. Mans Carpio over this matter),” Ridon said during a press briefing at the House of Representatives.
