The impeachment of Sara Duterte is a politically motivated spectacle that exposes the Marcos administration's weaponization of legal processes against rivals. With half the Senate seats up for grabs in May 2025 midterms, the timing reeks of partisan maneuvering rather than genuine accountability. Impeachment doesn't fix corruption — it just picks winners and losers in Manila's power games.
The impeachment of Sara Duterte is a necessary reckoning with a vice president who misused confidential funds and accumulated unexplained wealth flagged at 6.77 billion in transactions. Every peso diverted from public coffers is a peso stolen from classrooms and hospitals. Accountability isn't persecution — it's exactly what democratic institutions exist to deliver.
