MANILA, Philippines — Support for the impeachment charges against Vice President Sara Duterte has swelled to more than 200 over the weekend, according to two lawmakers interviewed by the Inquirer on Sunday.
Duterte’s impeachment now is “all but certain,” according to Bicol Saro Rep. Terry Ridon, who said at least 225 lawmakers have indicated support for that move ahead of Monday’s House vote on the charges accusing the vice president of constitutional violations and other wrongdoing.
This initial tally clears the threshold for the House of Representatives to elevate the case against Duterte to a Senate trial.
