Duterte – the daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte – has previously denied charges against her
The impeachment trial of Philippine vice-president Sara Duterte begins Monday, in a case that will determine whether she can run for the presidency in 2028, and which comes amid rising public anger over alleged government corruption.
Sara Duterte is the daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte, who is awaiting trial for alleged crimes against humanity at The Hague. She is facing allegations she misused public funds, amassed unexplained wealth, bribed officials and threatened the lives of the nation’s president, Ferdinand Marcos Jr, and the first lady. She has previously denied the allegations.
