VP Duterte braces for impeachment complaint, calls accusations baseless

Vice President Sara Duterte anticipates a new impeachment complaint, stating that Filipinos are tired of such proceedings and that the accusations lack evidence.

Her legal team is preparing for a potential impeachment complaint expected around February, after the one-year ban on filing expires.

Duterte has faced previous impeachment complaints, mainly concerning the alleged misuse of her confidential funds for the Office of the Vice President (OVP) and the Department of Education (DepEd).

A fourth impeachment complaint, approved by the House of Representatives with 215 votes, was transmitted to the Senate in February, though the Senate leadership did not immediately convene an impeachment court.

The previous Articles of Impeachment were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court for violating the one-year rule and due process, a ruling that the appeal's outcome will depend on.
