## Resource

The Philippine Senate prepares to begin a high-stakes impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, potentially lasting 92 days, amid a bitter political rift with President Marcos Jr. Accused of unexplained wealth and threatening the president, her conviction could bar her from future public office — including her 2028 presidential bid. Once a running mate of Marcos, their alliance has collapsed, fueled by her father Rodrigo Duterte’s ICC trial for crimes against humanity, which she blames on Marcos. With security tight and senators divided — some facing legal issues themselves — the trial looms as a pivotal moment in Philippine politics, testing alliances between Marcos’s pro-U.S. stance and the Dutertes’ historic ties to China and Russia.
