The Philippine Parliament has voted to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte on corruption charges. According to the BBC, 215 out of 306 members of the House of Representatives voted in favor of impeachment in the voting held on Wednesday.

 

Former President Rodrigo Duterte's daughter Sarah has been accused of misappropriating tens of millions of dollars in public funds and threatening to assassinate President Ferdinand Bongbaong Marcos Jr. . 

Vice President Sarah has been denying the allegations against her. He claims that he is a victim of political revenge. The latest move is seen as a further escalation of the feud between the Marcos and Duterte families. The tension between the two sides has sidelined national politics and other issues.

It is said that the 24-member Senate will take the final decision on the impeachment of Sara. If convicted by the Senate, Sarah will step down as vice president and become the first vice president in Philippine history to be impeached. He is expected to remain in office until the Senate's decision.
