Philippines’ impeachment showdown: why removing VP Sara could be uphill battle

Philippine Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio faces impeachment proceedings over alleged misuse of public funds, accumulation of unexplained wealth, failure to divest business interests, and involvement in a plot to assassinate President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and others. She did not attend the start of her impeachment trial, leaving her legal team to defend her. Legal experts suggest conviction is challenging, as prosecutors would need support from at least 16 senators, and the Senate's stance remains uncertain. The case could significantly impact the 2028 presidential election.
