MANILA, Philippines — With 19 senators voting in favor, four opposing, and one abstaining, the Senate on Wednesday night voted to archive the articles of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte, following a Supreme Court ruling that declared the complaint unconstitutional.
The chamber opted to shelve, but not dismiss, the impeachment case that stemmed from multiple allegations against the Vice President, including betrayal of public trust and culpable violation of the Constitution.The move came after the Supreme Court ruled that the impeachment was barred by the Constitution’s one-year rule and violated Duterte ’s right to due process, effectively rendering the articles null and void.
The decision to archive the case followed a motion by Rep. Rodante Marcoleta, which was amended by Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva to allow for possible revival of the case, pending the outcome of the Supreme Court appeals.Among those who voted in favor of archiving were senators Alan Peter Cayetano, Pia Cayetano, Ronald Dela Rosa, Sherwin Gatchalian, Bong Go, Imee Marcos, Robin Padilla, and siblings Camille and Mark Villar.
