Philippine House Votes to Impeach Vice President Sara Duterte

News summary

The Philippine House of Representatives has voted to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte, with over 215 lawmakers supporting the petition. The allegations against her include misusing public funds and making threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., though she denies any wrongdoing and claims to be a victim of political vendetta. The impeachment complaint will proceed to the Senate, where a trial will determine her fate, which could include removal from office and disqualification from future positions. This development intensifies the ongoing rift between Duterte and Marcos, following a collapse of their powerful political alliance. The impeachment signifies a significant turn in Duterte's political career, who was previously seen as a potential presidential candidate for 2028. The situation has heightened tensions within the Philippine political landscape as it marks a rare instance of such high-level impeachment proceedings.
