Two separate impeachment complaints have been submitted against Vice President Sara Duterte to the Philippine House of Representatives. The complaints, lodged by activist groups on Monday, allege involvement in large-scale corruption. Duterte previously survived an impeachment attempt last year.
Sara Duterte, a lawyer and former city mayor, is considered a potential candidate for the upcoming presidential election. The new complaints add to ongoing political challenges she faces amid her rising national profile.
**Why this matters**
Impeachment proceedings against a sitting vice president are significant as they can impact political stability and public trust in government institutions. With the 2025 presidential election approaching, these developments could influence the political landscape and Duterte’s future ambitions.
