Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte faces potential impeachment as analysts stress urgent timing

Philippine Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio faces potential impeachment as two complaints have been filed against her. Analysts suggest that the timing is critical, with a push for proceedings to begin soon in the House of Representatives. Political observers warn that delaying the impeachment until after the May midterm elections could weaken the effort. They note that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. must act quickly to avoid being seen as ineffective. The first complaint alleges corruption and constitutional violations, including her absence from budget hearings. It also claims she has shown gross incompetence and dereliction of duty in her roles.
