Sara Duterte

Vice President Sara Duterte is currently undergoing an impeachment trial, which began on July 6, 2026, following her second impeachment by the House of Representatives on May 11, 2026. The charges include betrayal of public trust, culpable violation of the Constitution, graft and corruption, and bribery. Specific allegations include: Misuse of confidential funds: Misappropriation of P612.5 million in OVP and DepEd funds and P2.7 billion in Davao City funds. Unexplained wealth: Mismatches between her reported net worth and P6.77 billion in bank transactions flagged by the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) between 2006 and 2025, alongside allegations of undeclared assets. Bribery and corruption: Allegations of receiving funds from individuals linked to illegal drugs. Administrative misconduct: Irregularities regarding P8 billion in overpriced laptops, P12 billion in COA disallowances, P7 billion in unliquidated cash advances, and failing to meet classroom construction targets. Threats: Making public assassination threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the First Lady, and a former House Speaker. Duterte denies these allegations, characterizing them as politically motivated. She was previously impeached in February 2025, but the Supreme Court nullified the proceedings in July 2025 due to constitutional violations regarding the one-year ban on multiple impeachment complaints.
