The impeachment trial of Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte is set to begin on Monday, July 6, 2026, in the Senate. This trial could have significant implications for her political future, potentially ending her career or positioning her as a leading candidate in the upcoming presidential election in 2028. The charges against her include allegations of corruption and making threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., her political rival.
Duterte, the daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte, has previously denied the allegations and expressed intentions to run for president in the next election cycle. As the case progresses, it will determine not only her viability as a candidate but also the level of political rivalry between her faction and the Marcos administration. The outcome of this trial could reshape the political landscape in the Philippines.
