Philippine House Votes to Impeach Vice President Sara Duterte

News summary

The House of Representatives in the Philippines has voted to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte, marking a historic event as this is the first impeachment trial against a sitting vice president. The impeachment complaint, which has garnered support from over 215 lawmakers, is based on multiple allegations including betrayal of public trust and misuse of confidential funds. The case will proceed to the Senate, which will act as the impeachment court, requiring a two-thirds majority for conviction. Tensions have grown between Duterte and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., following accusations and a public fallout over their previous political alliance. Duterte has denied any wrongdoing, framing the impeachment efforts as politically motivated. A trial date in the Senate is yet to be announced, but the proceedings can take place even during congressional breaks.
