VP Sara Duterte at peace with impending impeachment trial

Vice President Sara Duterte expressed on Friday that she is at peace with the outcome of her upcoming impeachment trial scheduled to begin on July 30.

During a campaign event in Zamboanga City, Duterte stated that regardless of whether she is acquitted or found guilty, she has accepted both possibilities and her lawyers are prepared since October 2023.

The House of Representatives impeached Vice President Sara Duterte on February 5, with 215 congressmen endorsing the verified complaint against her.

Senate President Francis Escudero adjourned sessions without addressing the case due to Congress being in recess and cannot start until June 2 or upon resumption of sessions.

Duterte emphasized that the trial is not just about her but also about politicians delivering genuine public service to the people.

She has filed a petition before the Supreme Court challenging the validity of the impeachment complaint.
