Lawmakers in the Philippines are set to vote on Monday on whether to impeach Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio, in what could create a major hurdle for her bid to run for the presidency in 2028.A house justice committee last month found probable cause for her impeachment in a petition from activists accusing her of misusing public funds, accumulating unexplained wealth and of threatening the lives of President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr, his wife and the former house speaker.With ally-turned-enemy Marcos limited by the constitution to a single term in office, Duterte-Carpio is the clear favourite to succeed him in 2028. She has apologised for helping bring Marcos to power in 2022, after they ran on a joint ticket and won separate elections in landslides.

The Philippine parliament is scheduled to vote on Monday regarding an impeachment bid against Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio. A house justice committee previously found probable cause for impeachment based on accusations from activists alleging misuse of public funds, unexplained wealth, and threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., his wife, and the former house speaker. This vote could significantly impact Duterte-Carpio's potential presidential candidacy in 2028, as she is considered a frontrunner to succeed Marcos, who is constitutionally limited to one term.
