If more than one third of the lower house backs her impeachment, the Senate will be required to convene a trial with its members as jurors
With ally-turned-enemy Marcos limited by the constitution to a single term in office, Duterte-Carpio is the clear favourite to succeed him in 2028. She has apologised for helping bring Marcos to power in 2022, after they ran on a joint ticket and won separate elections in landslides.
Duterte-Carpio denies wrongdoing and her legal team has described the petition as defective and a “fishing expedition”.
The scheduling of the vote for Monday was confirmed by House Secretary General Cheloy Garafil and representative Leila de Lima, a justice committee member.
