Philippine House Sets Impeachment Trial for Vice President Sara Duterte
The Philippine House of Representatives is moving forward with the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte. This decision follows a lengthy process where the House justice committee found probable cause to impeach the Vice President. The charges involve allegations of corruption and threats made against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. The process began in early 2026 when private individuals and former lawmakers filed an initial impeachment complaint regarding the alleged misuse of confidential funds. Despite initial hurdles and the Vice President's high popularity, lawmakers advanced the proceedings by ordering Duterte to respond to the allegations of public trust betrayal.
