Philippine lawmakers have ordered Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio to respond to impeachment complaints filed against her. The complaints allege unexplained wealth, misuse of public funds, and threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr. This follows a previous impeachment attempt that was struck down by the Supreme Court. Duterte-Carpio, daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte, is considered a frontrunner for the 2028 presidential election. If convicted by the Senate, she would be removed from her position and barred from holding future government office. Her defense team has not yet responded to requests for comment regarding the proceedings as of March 4, 2026.
