Sara Duterte Impeachment Trial | Heated Debate In Philippines Senate On Vice President's Case

[Starmix]

The impeachment case against the Philippines' Vice President Sara Duterte remains in limbo as the Senate sent the charges back to the House for clarification on constitutional grounds. Duterte faces serious allegations, including corruption and threatening President Marcos Jr. and his family. Prosecutors insist on a full trial, while Duterte has dismissed the complaint as “a scrap of paper.” New senators have warned against short-circuiting the process, and the Supreme Court may be asked to weigh in. The political showdown has triggered intense national debate, with implications for Duterte’s future and the broader balance of power ahead of the 2028 elections.

This impeachment is maneuvered by the oppositions. They are afraid that the next President will be VP Sara Duterte. Once she is impeached, she can no longer run in politics.
