Four in 10 Filipinos support the potential impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte , according to a recent Social Weather Stations (SWS) report commissioned by Stratbase Consultancy. The survey, conducted from December 12 to 19, 2024, with 2,160 adult respondents and a margin of error of +/-2%, found that 41% of respondents favor impeachment, 35% oppose it, and 19% are undecided. Support for impeachment is highest in Balance Luzon at 50%, followed by the Visayas at 40%.
Mindanao, considered Duterte’s home region, recorded the lowest support at 22%. The survey also revealed that 46% of Filipinos believe unexplained spending of confidential and intelligence funds by the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education may be the best basis to impeach Duterte. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has previously discouraged lawmakers from pursuing impeachment complaints against the VP, stating that such actions “do not benefit” the Filipino people. Despite this, three impeachment complaints were filed against Duterte last year, citing grounds including betrayal of public trust, culpable violation of the Constitution, and graft and corruption. The unresolved issue of the P125 million in confidential funds from 2022, which Duterte and her office refused to address in Congress, is central to these accusations. At the start of 2025, reports emerged of a possible fourth impeachment complaint
