The Senate voted 18-5 with no abstentions, on Tuesday, to return the articles of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte
www.inquirer.netHere’s what I can share based on recent reporting:
- There have been multiple developments around Sara Duterte’s impeachment matters in 2025–2026, including moves in the Philippine Senate and actions by the Supreme Court that affected the proceeding timelines. I can’t confirm the very latest in real time without checking current sources, but several outlets reported significant events in mid-2025 and early 2026 that shaped the impeachment trajectory. For example, a 2025 live-update track described the Senate returning articles to the House and subsequent motions, while later reports in 2025–2026 discussed constitutional rulings impacting the case.[1][3][6]
- In February 2026, there were reports of new impeachment complaints filed against Duterte as the political situation evolved, signaling ongoing contention even as prior actions faced legal scrutiny.[4][9]
- Notably, some outlets in mid-2025 indicated that the Supreme Court or high court actions could pause or void certain impeachment steps, affecting whether a trial proceeds or is halted temporarily.[3][6]
