A coalition of Philippine civil society groups is launching a historic impeachment bid against Vice President Sara Duterte, daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte, amid rising tensions with current leader Ferdinand Marcos Jr. 🌏🗳️
The complaint – backed by religious leaders, activists, and families impacted by her father’s controversial drug war – will be filed Monday in the lower house. While exact allegations remain unclear, the move intensifies a public clash between top officials following the collapse of their families’ political alliance. 💥
Duterte, already under scrutiny for \"questionable spending\" per a house inquiry, recently sparked outrage by claiming she’d hire assassins to target Marcos, his wife, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez \"if harmed\" – later calling it a \"misunderstood joke.\" 🎤🔍
Marcos downplayed the impeachment effort Friday, calling it a \"distraction,\" but critics argue accountability matters. This drama highlights the volatile power struggles shaping Southeast Asia’s youngest democracy. 🇵🇭✨
