Philippine Senate Lowers Impeachment Conviction Votes for VP Sara Duterte
The Philippine Senate impeachment court lowered the required votes to convict Vice President Sara Duterte by counting only participating senator-judges after four were unable to vote. Vice President Sara Duterte faces an impeachment trial that has passed its one-month mark, confronting four articles of impeachment alleging public fund misuse, amassed unexplained wealth, bribery, and assassination threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr and his family. The prosecution stated that her declared net worth grew from P7.25 million in 2007 to P98.66 million by 2025. Her legal team is preparing to challenge the Senate court ruling before the Supreme Court.
