Manila, Philippines – A stunning development unfolded today as a senior state prosecutor officially testified against Vice President Sara Duterte, effectively giving the green light for the highly anticipated impeachment case to proceed through Congress.
According to insider reports from the House of Representatives, the testimony provided critical evidence and legal clarity on allegations surrounding misuse of confidential and intelligence funds during Duterte’s term as Secretary of Education and concurrent Vice President.
🧑⚖️ THE WITNESS SPEAKS OUT
The unnamed prosecutor appeared in an executive session before the House Committee on Justice and delivered a detailed statement regarding multiple “red flags” identified by the Commission on Audit (COA).
“The violations are clear. This is no longer a matter of administrative oversight — this has potential criminal liability,” the prosecutor reportedly stated.
Sources say the testimony included documents, financial audits, and internal memos previously unavailable to the public.
⚖️ IMPEACHMENT ADVANCES — HOUSE VOTE IMMINENT
With the testimony now on record, the committee is expected to recommend impeachment proceedings to the House plenary, where a one-third vote will determine whether the case will move forward to the Senate for trial.
Representative Ernesto B. (name withheld) commented:
“This is no longer about politics. This is about legal and moral responsibility. If we let this slide, we fail the Filipino people.”
🗣️ VP SARA’S CAMP RESPONDS: “PURE POLITICS!”
Vice President Sara Duterte’s spokesperson was quick to respond, labeling the entire process as a politically motivated attack, aimed at derailing her rising popularity ahead of the 2028 presidential elections.
“This is a clear attempt to silence the Vice President and eliminate her as a threat. These are the same old tactics repackaged in legal language,” the statement read.
💥 PUBLIC OPINION DIVIDED: JUSTICE OR POLITICS?
Social media erupted within minutes of the announcement, with hashtags like #SaraImpeachment, #JusticeForTruth, and #StopPoliticalWitchHunts trending on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook.
“If she’s guilty, she must be held accountable — no one is above the law.”
“It feels like a calculated move to bring down a Duterte. The timing is too convenient.”
“Let the truth come out. The people deserve transparency.”
📅 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? SENATE TRIAL LOOMING
Should the House pass the Articles of Impeachment, the case would proceed to the Senate, which would serve as the official impeachment court. A two-thirds majority vote would be required to convict the Vice President.
Some senators have already hinted at “maintaining impartiality” should the trial reach their chamber.
🕊️ FINAL THOUGHT:
As yet another high-profile impeachment looms over the Philippine government, one truth stands tall: no one is immune to accountability, not even the Vice President.
With a key witness now on record, the path forward is clear — and the entire nation is watching.
Will Sara Duterte rise and fight back?
Or is this the beginning of her political downfall?
