Philippine house votes to impeach VP Sara Duterte

The Philippine house of representatives voted to impeach vice president Sara Duterte on Wednesday, accusing her of constitutional violations, graft, corruption, and plotting to assassinate President Ferdinand Marcos. The impeachment paves the way for a senate trial, where two-thirds of the 24 senators must vote for her removal. Duterte's impeachment follows allegations of misuse of public funds and a deteriorating relationship with Marcos. The case has sparked political debates, with the Senate trial seen as a potential opportunity for politicians ahead of the 2028 presidential race.
