In the Philippines, the House of Representatives has voted to impeach Vice-President Sara Duterte for the second time, sending her case to a Senate trial that may determine whether she can pursue the presidency in 2028. The charges — misuse of public funds and public threats against President Marcos and his family — arrive amid a bitter collapse of what was once a powerful political alliance. As with so many moments in democratic life, the line between legal accountability and political warfare is difficult to draw cleanly, and the outcome will reveal much about the nature of power in a nation

Similar to 2016-2022 Duterte-Aquino political tensions; impeachment as tool to eliminate political rivals echoes patterns in Philippine democratic institutions under stress.
