Senate Resolution Seeks Dismissal of Sara Duterte Impeachment Case

A resolution has been drafted by Senator Ronald dela Rosa to dismiss the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte. This move could fortify her political standing amidst a rift with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

The lower house impeached Duterte in February on charges including budget anomalies and an alleged threat to the lives of key political figures. If convicted by the Senate, Duterte faces a lifetime ban from public office.

The draft resolution suggests the Senate's failure to act within 100 days led to a de facto dismissal. Its potential success could shape the landscape for the 2028 presidential election, with Duterte being a prominent contender.
