Hundreds of protesters gathered at Liwasang Bonifacio on Friday, January 31, 2025, demanding the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.

Film director Joel Lamangan, in character as "Roda" from "Batang Quiapo," urged the public to take action and speak out against perceived oppression.

The Manila Police District estimated that about a thousand individuals participated in the Liwasang Bonifacio gathering.

This protest was in addition to another held at the EDSA Shrine, which also saw over a thousand attendees from civil societies and progressive groups.

The impeachment complaints filed against Vice President Duterte since December 2, 2024, cite betrayal of public trust, misuse of confidential funds, and alleged assassination remarks.

All three impeachment complaints have been verified by the House Secretary General as of January 10, and a complainant urged Congress to transmit and endorse them before the end of the current session.

Vice President Duterte welcomed the impeachment case, stating it provides an opportunity to address accusations against her.
