The article reports on rising protests in Manila calling for the impeachment of Philippines Vice President Sara Duterte, who faces three complaints regarding alleged misuse of millions in public funds during her tenure as education secretary. Thousands gathered to demand her removal, invoking a growing discontent towards perceived misconduct. Meanwhile, divisions in Congress are evident, as a significant pro-Duterte rally attracted 1.5 million supporters. Legislators are under pressure to address the complaints before Congress adjourns for the upcoming May midterm elections, as calls for truth and justice resonate among the protesting public.

The Filipino people are here, ready to stand for truth and justice. Let's not fail them, Cendana said.
The House Secretary General had said the legislative body is waiting for a potential fourth complaint before referring them to the speaker.
With about 4,000 protesters in Manila chanting for her removal, the demand for Duterte's impeachment signifies a growing discontent among citizens over alleged misconduct.
