Philippine VP Sara Duterte impeached for a second time

Duterte announced her intention to run for president in February, much earlier than expected. Marcos is limited by the constitution to a single six-year term.She holds a 17-point lead over her nearest rival based on a survey in March by Manila pollster WR Numero.In the 2022 elections, Duterte was the survey frontrunner to succeed her father, but she formed an alliance with Marcos and ran for vice-president instead to consolidate their support bases and fend off a reformist wave. The pair won by a landslide.But the alliance soon unravelled as they pursued divergent political agendas.Marcos' allies in the House, led by cousin, then speaker Martin Romualdez, investigated allegations of fund misuse in Duterte's office.At the height of public scrutiny, Duterte hosted a late night online press conference, where she said she told one person that "if I get killed, go kill BBM [President Marcos], [First Lady] Liza Araneta, and [House Speaker] Martin Romualdez".Then in March last year, Marcos allowed the International Criminal Court to arrest Rodrigo Duterte and detain him at The Hague, where he now awaits trial for crimes against humanity over the hundreds who died in his so-called war on drugs.
