As of this writing, 306 lawmakers led by Ilocos Norte 1st District Rep. Ferdinand Alexander Marcos, have indicated their intention to support the fourth impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte.
The House of Representatives has gathered enough votes to move forward with Sara Duterte impeachment complaint, marking a significant political development in the Philippines.
With the impeachment of Sara Duterte now secured in the lower chamber, the case is set to proceed to the Senate for trial.
VP Sara’s impeachment move has been gaining momentum over the past weeks, with lawmakers citing alleged constitutional violations and abuse of power as grounds for impeachment.
The House of Representatives deliberated on the charges, and the overwhelming support for the Sara impeachment complaint indicates strong backing from both opposition and independent lawmakers.
Legal experts say that even though the House of Representatives acted quickly, the trial in the Senate could take longer and be more complicated.
The Senate, which acts as the impeachment court, will now review the charges and determine whether Duterte should be removed from office.
Political analysts say the next phase of Sara Duterte’s impeachment will be critical, as the upper chamber will require a two-thirds vote to convict.
Supporters of Sarah Duterte have denounced the VP Sara impeachment move, calling it politically motivated.
However, opposition leaders argue that the impeachment of Sara Duterte is necessary to uphold accountability.
While the Senate trial now looming, the nation waits for the next steps in VP Sara’s impeachment complaint.
If convicted, Duterte will be the highest-ranking official in recent history to be impeached in the Philippines.
