Impeachment Talks Surround VP Duterte; House Strongly Denies Allegations

Vice President Sara Duterte stated lawmakers are discussing an impeachment complaint against her over confidential fund audits. This intensifying executive-legislative friction and eroding political alliances signal elevated governance and stability risks for commercial enterprises.

Politics and Policy Political Stability

On Tuesday, August 20, Vice President Sara Duterte argued that some House members are contemplating filing an impeachment complaint against her. Vice President Duterte gave credence to these rumors, stating that despite public denials, discussions about impeachment are taking place among the legislators. The House has allegedly planned to oust her based on the findings of Commission on Audit on the confidential intelligence funds of the Office of the Vice President (OVP). She also criticized certain lawmakers for attempting to portray her family as corrupt, criminal, and self-serving. It can be recalled that Vice President Sara Duterte’s brother and husband were recently named as the alleged owners of 500 kilograms of shabu seized at the Manila International Container Port (MICP) in 2018 during a recent House hearing.
