Sara Duterte impeached by House

The Philippine House of Representatives has voted to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte, marking a historic escalation in the country's political crisis.

Duterte faces multiple charges, including unexplained wealth, corruption, and a controversial alleged plot against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. The case will now move to the Senate for a trial that could permanently disqualify her from holding public office.

This move likely ends her 2028 presidential aspirations and deepens the rift between the nation's two most powerful political dynasties.
