The Commission on Elections (Comelec) stated that Vice President Sara Duterte remains eligible to run in the 2028 elections, even amidst ongoing impeachment proceedings. Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia clarified this point when questioned about a potential resignation by the VP. According to Garcia, a final conviction is required to disqualify Duterte from future electoral bids. Without a conclusive judgment, she can still seek another position in the 2028 polls. This ruling hinges on the interpretation of constitutional provisions regarding eligibility and the completion of impeachment processes. The Comelec’s statement offers clarity on a frequently asked question surrounding the Vice President's political future, given recent impeachment efforts. The situation remains fluid and depends on the outcome of the impeachment proceedings.
