Philippine Vice President Duterte faces second impeachment complaint over fund misuse

Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte faces a second impeachment complaint, filed on December 4, over alleged misuse of public funds and failure to defend her budget in Congress. This follows a previous complaint and ongoing investigations into her conduct. The new complaint claims Duterte misused 612.5 million pesos ($10.49 million) and ordered officials to falsify reports. It also cites her refusal to engage with Congress regarding her budget. Duterte's office has not commented on the latest allegations. Duterte is already under investigation for a threat against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and faces a separate complaint related to her actions in Congress and a hospital incident. She denies all wrongdoing.
