Philippine VP Sara Duterte impeached, faces Senate trial affecting 2028 presidential bid
Philippine lawmakers overwhelmingly voted to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio, with 255 of 318 lawmakers supporting the move. She faces a Senate trial that could remove her from office and block her 2028 presidential aspirations, though allies control enough Senate seats to potentially prevent conviction.
