Philippine efforts to unseat Duterte-Carpio face snags: too popular to impeach?
AI Summary
Philippine Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio is facing three new impeachment complaints in the House of Representatives, alleging misuse of public funds and an assassination threat against President Marcos. The complaints await action when the House resumes sessions next week. Despite a majority of Marcos' allies in the House, the success of the impeachment is uncertain. Duterte-Carpio, daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte, denies the accusations and her lawyer claims they lack factual and legal basis. She is considered a strong contender for the 2028 presidential election, boasting rising popularity and a loyal base, particularly in the southern Philippines. The complaints are similar to those filed last year, and require the support of one-third of the House membership to proceed.
