Vice President Sara Duterte 's fate now lies in the hands of the Senate, but the timing of the House's transmission to the Senate of the articles of impeachment complicates the start of the trial

That decision lies in the hands of the Senate, which has received the articles of impeachment against Duterte on the grounds of betrayal of public trust, culpable violation of the Constitution, bribery, graft and corruption, and other high crimes.

Six senators are up for reelection: Pia Cayetano, Lito Lapid, Bong Revilla and Francis Tolentino from the administration slate; and Bong Go and Bato dela Rosa from PDP, the party of former president Rodrigo Duterte. National elective aspirants traditionally go around the country to campaign in the run-up to the elections, so the timing of the impeachment push tightens their schedule.
