The Philippine Congress voted to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte, daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte, with 215 lawmakers supporting the petition. This follows three impeachment complaints alleging misuse of public funds and plotting assassination of President Ferdinand Marcos. The case now moves to the Senate, which must see two-thirds of its members vote for her impeachment. Duterte has denied the allegations, claiming they stem from political motives, and her contentious relationship with Marcos has further fueled controversy over her comments about hiring an assassin.
The House Secretary General stated that 215 lawmakers signed the impeachment petition, ensuring that the impeachment complaint would proceed to the Senate for trial.
Vice President Duterte has dismissed the accusations as a political vendetta, maintaining her innocence amidst allegations of fund misuse and threats of assassination.
