Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial starts on July 6, 2026. Protests in support of and against the Vice President may occur in the Senate and other traditional protest sites.

Protest

Executive Summary:

  • The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte will begin on July 6, 2026, in the Senate of the Philippines in Pasay City. The trial is expected to last until February 2027. Protests in support of and against the Vice President may occur in the vicinity of the Senate in Pasay City and in traditional protest sites as the trial starts. 
  • As of writing, there is only one confirmed protest action in relation to the impeachment: a caravan held by civil society coalition Tindig Pilipinas on July 5 at different locations in Quezon and Pasig cities. PSA Intelligence notes the possibility of civil society, religious groups, center-left, and left-leaning organizations to hold spontaneous protests throughout the duration of the trial.
  • PSA Intelligence does not forecast significant security concerns arising from the announced and possibly spontaneous protests. Heightened security protocols have been announced to be in place not just in the Senate, but across Metro Manila.
  • PSA Intelligence encourages clients to leave 1 to 2 hours earlier for their intended destinations, use alternative routes, and avoid roads in the vicinity of the Senate and in traditional protest sites. 
  • PSA Intelligence reminds clients that foreign expatriates should refrain from participating in protest actions.
