US EditionPhilippine VP Sara Duterte faces new impeachment complaints
Two complaints accuse Vice President Sara Duterte of misusing about P612.5 million in confidential funds and reviving assassination threat allegations, filed as presidential impeachment hearings start.
- Vice President Sara Duterte faces two new impeachment complaints filed on Feb. 2 before the Office of the House Secretary General, which her lawyers dismissed as baseless.
- By a Jan. 28 resolution, the Supreme Court clarified that `session days` are calendar days, reopening the window for complaints and rendering the earlier impeachment unconstitutional.
- Filed by civil society and lawmakers, the complaints allege Duterte misused P612.5 million and threatened to assassinate the president, which she denies.
- House Justice Committee hearings began on Feb. 2 as lawmakers weigh substance, the Makabayan bloc prepares to refile, and the House will accept complaints by Feb. 6; if impeached, the Senate may try and remove her.
- Sara Duterte's standing as a 2028 frontrunner means renewed impeachment filings will thrust the Duterte–Marcos feud back into national politics and risk diverting focus from economic frustrations.
