Pinky Lampinio Tam (born September 26) is a Filipino activist. A member of the non-governmental organization Stand Up for God (SUGOD) Rosary Group founded by Wilfredo Villanueva, she joined several church members and lawyers in filing two separate impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte in 2024 and 2026.
Civic involvement
In early 2023, Tam participated in prayer vigils that called on the Commission on Elections to release a transmission report on the results of the 2022 presidential election, as well as The Release of detained former senator Leila de Lima.
As a member of the Stand Up for God Rosary Group (SUGOD), a non-governmental organization established by Wilfredo G. Villanueva, Tam joined Villanueva, Fr. Joel Saballa, lawyer Maria Loreto Lopez and eight other church members and lawyers in filing the third impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte on December 19, 2024. The complaint, filed out of a "moral obligation" according to the group's lead counsel Amando Virgil Ligutan, was endorsed by Congressmen Gabriel Bordado and Lex Anthony Colada.
After the Supreme Court nullified the impeachment complaints upon deeming them unconstitutional, Tam joined Villanueva, Saballa and two other Catholic priests from the Diocese of Novaliches, and two lawyers from Davao City in filing a 75-page motion for reconsideration on August 11, 2025, before the court, asking it to reverse its ruling and allow the impeachment trial to proceed.
On February 7, 2026, Tam attended the launch of a new EDition of the 2024 non-fiction book Kill, Kill, Kill: Extrajudicial [...] in the Philippines by veteran journalist Philip Lustre Jr., with Lustre describing Tam as "a democratic warrior".
After the Supreme Court upheld its initial ruling on January 29, 2026, Tam, Saballa, Lopez and ten others filed a new 98-page impeachment complaint against Vice President Duterte on February 9, 2026, with the one-year limit on impeachment complaints having ended on January 15 as deemed by the court. The complaint listed six grounds for impeachment related to Duterte's unexplained use of confidential funds and her [...] threats against President Bongbong Marcos, his wife Liza, and Congressman Martin Romualdez, and was endorsed by ML Partylist Representative Leila de Lima. According to Fr. Bong Sarabia, one of Tam's fellow complainants, they all continuously recited a prayer asking for Mary's intercession as they went to the Solicitor General's office to file the complaint. On March 2, 2026, political activist Kiko Aquino Dee dropped his own group's impeachment complaint (also initially endorsed by de Lima) in favor of the complaint filed by Tam and others, and by March 4, the latter complaint was deemed sufficient in both form and substance by the House Committee on Justice.
