The Supreme Court (SC) has declared the Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte as unconstitutional, court spokesperson Atty. Camille Ting announced Friday.
www.gmanetwork.comHere is a brief update based on the latest publicly reported developments.
The Philippine Supreme Court has issued rulings related to impeachment proceedings involving Vice President Sara Duterte. The most notable move halted or halted ongoing impeachment actions at various points in 2025, effectively delaying or stopping trials under certain constitutional constraints. This means that as of mid-2025, the impeachment process against Duterte was paused or blocked on procedural grounds, though the situation remained fluid with potential future actions depending on legislative and judicial developments.[2][3]
In July 2025, reports indicate the Supreme Court ruled that the impeachment bid in question did not proceed due to you-know-what constitutional restrictions, providing Duterte with temporary relief from removal and additional time to address political considerations. This does not equate to a full exoneration of the charges, but it stops the impeachment process from advancing at that moment.[3][2]
Coverage from major outlets notes that the House and Senate remained involved in the broader impeachment conversation, with the House acknowledging the court’s ruling while emphasizing that impeachment remains a political process and could be revisited under appropriate circumstances.[2]
