Duterte Impeachment Trial Delayed by Senate | JQJO

The Philippine Senate, acting as an impeachment court, voted to return corruption and assassination-related impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte to the House of Representatives due to legal concerns. This delays the trial, sparking protests from activists. While the Senate president insists the complaint isn't dismissed, senators like Risa Hontiveros disagree, citing a lack of constitutional basis for the return. The impeachment, fueled by a political rift between Duterte and President Marcos Jr., includes accusations of plotting assassinations and corruption. Duterte's supporters claim the impeachment is unconstitutional and politically motivated.
