Philippine house panel finds probable cause to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte
- Country:
- Philippines
The Philippine House justice committee on Wednesday found probable cause to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte, moving a step closer to a process that could derail her bid to become the next president.
The complaint will go to the plenary for a vote when Congress resumes session next month, with the backing of a third of its members is needed to advance to an impeachment trial in the Senate. Duterte, daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte, denies allegations she misused public funds, accumulated unexplained wealth and threatened the lives of her rival, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, his wife and his cousin, the former house speaker.
