Sara Duterte Impeachment Trial | Tensions Flare Outside Senate During | Philippines on Edge | N18G
The Philippine Senate convenes as an impeachment court to begin the historic impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.

The proceedings mark the first impeachment trial of a sitting Philippine vice president in the country's history. House prosecutors will present allegations that include corruption, constitutional violations, and betrayal of public trust, while Duterte's legal team prepares its defense.

The trial is expected to last several weeks as senator-judges hear evidence and arguments from both sides. A conviction requires the support of at least two-thirds of the Senate and would result in Vice President Sara Duterte's removal from office, with the possibility of permanent disqualification from holding public office.

Watch for the latest developments, key moments, legal analysis, Senate proceedings, and political updates from the Philippines.
