Vice President Sara Duterte has been impeached by a large majority in the Philippine House amid escalating tensions with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Allegations include misuse of public funds and threats against Marcos Jr. Despite their alliance during the 2022 elections, their relationship soured over differing ties with the US and China. Duterte's impeachment, which will be reviewed by the Senate, could bar her from future office; if convicted, she risks not being able to run for president in 2028 as Marcos Jr. must step down that year.
"Duterte and Marcos Jr. soon fell out over their country's relationship with the US and China, creating deep political rifts that have now led to her impeachment."
"The impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte marks a significant political clash between two powerful families in the Philippines with potential repercussions for future elections."
