Philippines Supreme Court Blocks Duterte Impeachment | JQJO

The Philippine Supreme Court dismissed the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte due to a procedural error. The House of Representatives violated a rule limiting the number of impeachment cases against an official per year. The court emphasized its focus on upholding the law, not favoring political outcomes. While the ruling blocks the upcoming trial on allegations including threats against President Marcos, opponents can file another impeachment case after a year. Duterte's lawyers welcomed the decision.
