Vice President Sara Duterte on Monday formally answered the impeachment charges filed by the House of Representatives, with her legal team submitting a 50-page response before the Senate that seeks the case’s immediate dismissal. According to spokesperson Michael Poa, the filing challenges the impeachment proceedings on several grounds, including alleged defects and constitutional infirmities in House procedures, deficiencies in the substance of the complaint, and questions over the admissibility of evidence. The House earlier impeached Duterte over allegations of unexplained wealth, high crimes, and misuse of public funds, accusations she has consistently denied.
