Philippines impeaches VP Duterte as political rift widens
The Philippine House voted 257-25 to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte over alleged unexplained wealth and threats against President Marcos, sending the case to the Senate for trial amid a widening rift between the Marcos and Duterte camps; the proceedings coincide with a Senate leadership shake-up and a separate ICC arrest warrant for Duterte ally Roland dela Rosa over crimes against humanity, while Duterte denies the charges and remains a popular figure with potential 2028 ambitions.
