Activists in the Philippines have filed a second impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte, accusing her of misusing 612.5 million pesos ($10.3 million) in government funds. The complaint alleges she submitted false documents to cover up the misuse. This new complaint follows an earlier one filed on Monday, which included accusations of death threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and involvement in extrajudicial killings. The House of Representatives, dominated by Marcos allies, will review the complaints. Duterte is also facing a criminal investigation for her threats against the president and his family. The impeachment process could take weeks or months, with Congress set to begin its Christmas recess on December 20.
