The Supreme Court in the Philippines has dismissed petitions contesting the Senate Impeachment Court’s ruling on the required two-thirds vote for conviction in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte. The petitions specifically challenged the interpretation of the vote threshold necessary to find Duterte guilty of the charges against her. This decision effectively upholds the Senate Impeachment Court’s stance on the voting rules governing the process. The Supreme Court's dismissal means the impeachment proceedings will continue under the previously established guidelines. This ruling follows deliberations on the validity of the two-thirds vote requirement, a key point of contention in the case. The outcome clarifies the procedural framework for the remainder of Vice President Duterte’s impeachment trial in the Senate.
