Philippine House of Representatives votes to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte

Sara Duterte, the Vice-President of the Philippines, has been impeached by the House of Representatives on charges of violating the constitution, betrayal of public trust, graft and corruption, and other high crimes. The move is reportedly in response to allegations that she misused millions of dollars in public funds and plotted the assassination of President Ferdinand Marcos. The accusations also include large-scale corruption and failure to strongly denounce China's aggressive actions against Filipino forces in the disputed South China Sea. The impeachment process will now proceed to a senate trial.

The vote was a result of allegations of millions of dollars in public funds being misused by Sara Duterte, which she has denied. Instead, she has alleged that she is a victim of a political vendetta. The impeachment vote was unanimous, with 215 out of 306 members of the House of Representatives voting in favor of her impeachment. Sara Duterte has been impeached by the lower house of Congress, with lawmakers voting to send articles of impeachment to the Senate for a trial.
