Philippines VP Sara Duterte was not acquitted in her impeachment case, but the Supreme Court voided the impeachment complaint on procedural grounds. The Philippine Supreme Court ruled on July 25, 2025, that the impeachment complaints against VP Sara Duterte were unconstitutional. The court argued that the House of Representatives violated a constitutional safeguard by filing a fourth impeachment complaint within a year, having not acted on the first three complaints.

The Supreme Court clarified that it did not acquit Duterte of the charges. The ruling only addressed the procedural violation, not the merits f the allegations against her. The decision is seen as a boost for Duterte’s political ambitions. She remains a strong contender for the 2028 presidency, as an impeachment conviction would have barred her from office for life.

While the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte was voided, she was not acquitted. The Supreme Court’s decision focused on the procedural irregularities in the impeachment process, allowing Duterte to continue serving as vice president and remain eligible for future political office.
