Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte Faces Impeachment Complaint

The complaint accuses Duterte of constitutional violations, corruption, and threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., highlighting a deepening political feud.

An alliance of civil society groups and opposition figures filed an impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte in the Philippine House of Representatives.
The complaint alleges grave misconduct, constitutional violations, corruption, and high crimes, including issuing death threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., his wife, and the House Speaker.
Duterte is accused of misusing over 612.5 million pesos in confidential funds during her tenure as vice president and education secretary, which she denies.
The impeachment bid follows an escalating feud between Duterte and Marcos, who were initially political allies but now clash on issues like governance and foreign policy.
President Marcos has expressed concerns that the impeachment process could divert Congress from addressing pressing national issues, but critics argue it is essential for accountability.
