Philippine lawmakers advance impeachment against VP Sara Duterte over wealth, fund misuse, and threats, despite prior dismissal.

Philippine lawmakers have initiated impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte, ordering her to respond to allegations of unexplained wealth, misappropriation of public funds, and public threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his family. Despite the Supreme Court's dismissal of a previous impeachment attempt, the House of Representatives' justice committee found enough evidence to move forward. Duterte, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, has denied the allegations and filed perjury charges against a detained man whose affidavit is crucial to the case. The process continues as the House considers her response and potential rebuttal.
