Sara Duterte Faces Impeachment Trial With Philippine Presidential Dream At Stake

Vice President Sara Duterte faces an impeachment trial in the Philippine Senate starting Monday. This legal process could either end her political career or establish her as the leading contender to succeed Ferdinand Marcos Jr. as president. The trial is expected to shape the 2028 presidential race and worsen the rift between two powerful political dynasties, contributing to the ongoing turmoil and division currently affecting the Senate as the proceedings begin.
