The Sara impeachment has imploded (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THIRTY-ONE trial days in, the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte has collapsed under the weight of what it never had: a witness who can say, under oath, that Sara herself stole money, ordered someone else to steal it, or personally pocketed a single peso of it. The prosecution has produced boxes of records, confidential-fund liquidation papers, bank statements, corporate filings — and, most recently, Sara’s own brother. What it has not produced after a month of trial is the one thing an
Impeachment court: A kangaroo court (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WHILE Marcos’ minions in the Senate are ecstatic over having succeeded in reducing the number of votes required to convict Vice President Sara Duterte, this attack on the Constitution has only revealed the real nature of this impeachment court.

SEN. Panfilo Lacson says the arrest of former House speaker Martin Romualdez should silence those who call President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. a weak leader. Indeed, Romualdez is the president’s first cousin and, until his political fall, the most powerful man in the House of Representatives. A president who permits a nonbailable plunder case to be filed against such a relative, Lacson argues, has shown resolve. Lacson insults Ombudsman Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla Jr. It was Remulla’s office that
Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE arrest warrant against Vice President Sara Duterte for grave threats, purportedly made against the president and the first lady back in 2024, is both a brazen defiance of the Supreme Court and an affront to the Congress that has spent a huge amount of time and resources on her impeachment on that very charge. The Supreme Court, in fact, only last year ruled that Sara as vice president, along with the president and several other high officials named by the Constitution’s Article XI, Section 2
