Philippines to convene court for VP impeachment amid political turmoil

MANILA: The Philippine Senate was due to convene as an impeachment court on ​Monday that could decide the future of Vice President Sara Duterte, with a heated battle between two rival political camps set to be front and center in the trial. The impeachment trial will be a high-stakes event that could either kill off Duterte’s 2028 presidential hopes, or strengthen her position as lead contender to succeed her bitter rival, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, who is constitutionally barred from running again.
