The Philippines House of Representatives voted in favor of impeaching Vice-President Sara Duterte following accusations of corruption, misuse of public funds, and threatening to assassinate the president of the Philippines.

She rejected the accusations, claiming they were the result of a political vendetta.

215 out of 306 members of the House voted to impeach Duterte, which is above the required one-third threshold for the motion to advance.

Now, the Senate will act as an impeachment court; if they convict Duterte, she could be removed from office and barred from holding public office in the future.

Thousands of protesters took to the streets in January, calling for the impeachment of Duterte. Around 4,000 protesters shared in those protests.

The president of the Philippines removed Duterte from the National Security Council (NSC) in an executive order signed on January 3.

The decision follows allegations that Duterte plotted to assassinate Marcos and his family—claims she denies, asserting that her statements were misinterpreted.

Duterte was facing three impeachment complaints over misconduct and misuse of millions of dollars in government funds when she was the secretary of education.

The first formal complaint was filed by 16 signatories and sponsored by a former House Representative. It listed 24 articles as grounds for impeachment.

The second impeachment complaint was filed by a left-wing political coalition and endorsed by three house representatives.

The third complaint was filed by a group of seven priests accusing her of irregular payments of millions of dollars as vice president and secretary of education.
