On February 2, 2026, there have been renewed efforts to remove Sara Duterte as vice president of the Philippines through impeachment.
Duterte was earlier successfully impeached by the House of Representatives on February 5, 2025, transmitting the articles of impeachment to the Senate for a trial. However, the Senate convened as an impeachment court on June 10, 2025 only to remand the articles back to the lower house. The Supreme Court in July 2025 declared the impeachment complaint as unconstitutional after the earlier three complaints triggered the one-year constitutional ban effectively aborting the trial.
Following the lapse of the one-year constitutional ban, at least two new complaints were filed against Duterte to impeach her for a second time.
The four impeachment complaints against Duterte have been formally initiated on February 23, 2026 after being referred to the House Committee on Justice.
