Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte was impeached by the House of Representatives, marking a significant political development amid ongoing tensions with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. After garnering 215 signatures from House members, the impeachment complaint, which includes serious allegations such as corruption and betrayal of public trust, will now proceed to the Senate for trial. This marks Duterte's latest challenge within a politically charged environment, particularly as she is seen as a potential presidential candidate for the 2028 elections. However, impending elections may hinder the progression of the impeachment proceedings.
"The impeachment complaint was ordered transmitted to the Senate, which will serve as an impeachment tribunal that would try the vice president, the daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte."
"Duterte, regarded as a possible presidential candidate after Marcos's term ends in 2028, has faced at least four impeachment complaints by several legislators and left-wing activist groups over a range of issues."
