The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte — the first Philippine public official to be impeached twice by the House of Representatives — began at 2 pm on Monday, July 6.
There are four articles of impeachment against Duterte involving alleged misuse of confidential funds, unexplained wealth, bribery of Department of Education officials, and grave threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his family.
Only 21 out of 24 senator-judges are physically present. Senator Bato dela Rosa remains in hiding as he faces an International Criminal Court arrest warrant over Rodrigo Duterte’s drug war, Senator Jinggoy Estrada has been detained and suspended in connection with a plunder case, and Senator Rodante Marcoleta surrendered to authorities as he also faces a plunder case.
