Sara Duterte Impeachment News LIVE: Philippines Senate President Briefs Media as VP Impeached | N18G
President of Senate Francis Escudero is holding a news conference a day after the House of Representatives impeached Vice President Sara Duterte and submitted it to the senate.
The Philippine lower house of Congress on Wednesday endorsed an impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte, the daughter of the country's former president, Rodrigo Duterte, paving the way for a rare trial in the Senate. A bill of impeachment will be sent to the upper house, where the 23 senators would serve as jurors in proceedings that could result in the removal of Duterte and her lifetime disqualification from holding office. Duterte would be the Philippines' second most senior official to face removal from office. The grounds for impeachment were not immediately clear. Duterte has consistently denied wrongdoing and has described moves against her as a political vendetta.
