Despite a recent rise in her satisfaction ratings, Vice President Sara Duterte is not protected from potential impeachment proceedings, according to the House prosecution team. They argue that impeachment is based on evidence of wrongdoing, specifically alleged constitutional violations and breaches of public trust, rather than public opinion. The team emphasized that popularity is irrelevant to the legal process of determining accountability. They stated yesterday that Duterte will still face scrutiny regarding the accusations leveled against her. This suggests the impeachment process will continue despite her improved public image. The House team remains focused on presenting evidence to support the charges. Ultimately, the decision rests with the impeachment court, not public sentiment.
