Sara Duterte Impeachment Revived

An impeachment process has been revived against Sara Duterte, the Vice President of the Philippines. This comes as she has emerged as a significant political rival to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. Previous attempts to impeach her have not been successful.

Despite the renewed prosecution, the impeachment of Vice President Duterte is widely expected to fail once again in the Senate. This indicates the inherent difficulty of removing a sitting vice president within the Philippine political system.
