Sara Duterte Impeachment Deliberations
All 55 present members backed the report, which moves the impeachment complaints to the House plenary for a vote.
- On Monday, the House Committee on Justice unanimously approved its impeachment report against Vice President Sara Duterte, with all 55 present members voting to advance the articles to the plenary for final consideration.
- The committee consolidated two complaints into a single case, grounding allegations of corruption, unexplained wealth, and a supposed assassination plot against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., which Duterte has repeatedly denied.
- During amendments to the report, lawmakers added findings that Duterte 'failed to divest all her business interest' from 2022 to 2025 and clarified that confidential fund releases were 'upon the instruction of the respondent.'
- Senate President Vicente Sotto III confirmed Monday the chamber is prepared for an impeachment trial, though transmission requires at least 106 votes from the 318 House members to proceed.
- The House plenary may vote next week on the impeachment articles, with House rules requiring the report be calendared within 10 session days, a timeline that could affect Duterte's 2028 presidential prospects.
