Summary
Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte has been impeached by the House of Representatives over allegations including plotting to assassinate President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., corruption, and failure to confront China’s aggression in the South China Sea.
The move deepens political tensions between Duterte and Marcos, whose alliance collapsed after their 2022 election victory.
Duterte denies wrongdoing, calling the charges political persecution.
The Senate will now decide her fate.
It’s Duterte vs Marcos, so I can’t even decide who I distrust.
You don’t have to decide. You can’t trust either of them.
Yeah but in this case, one of them has to be lying more than the other.
