Sara Duterte denies impeachment plots, cites political differences with Marcos
Vice President Sara Duterte addressed House impeachment plotting efforts during her testimony before the committee on appropriations deliberations for the Office of the Vice President's 2025 budget.
Duterte stated that she has recorded conversations and shared discussions regarding the impeachment proceedings but will not disclose any confidential information, claiming these talks have been ongoing for several months.
A House member recently declared in an interview that there may be grounds to file an impeachment case against Duterte due to potential misuse of P125 million confidential funds, despite a lack of evidence.
Duterte emphasized that cracks in the Uniteam alliance between her and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. have surfaced due to political and policy differences, with Duterte resigning from Lakas-CMD party amid 'political toxicity' in May 2023.
In June, Duterte stepped down as Education Secretary citing concern for teachers and students amidst changes in policies under the Marcos administration.
The Department of Budget and Management decided not to allocate any confidential funds (CF) to the Office of the Vice President for 2025, following scrutiny over CF usage in previous years.
