The Supreme Court (SC) has declared the articles of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte as unconstitutional.

In a press briefing SC spokesperson Atty. Camille Ting announced Friday that the high court finds the House impeachment complaint versus VP Sara Duterte violated the one-year rule and that due process or fairness applies in all stages of the impeachment process.

The Supreme Court issued the ruling is in relation to the consolidated petition filed by Duterte, lawyer Israelito Torreon, and others seeking to declare the articles of impeachment against her as null and void.

Earlier, three impeachment complaints were filed against Duterte in December 2024, all of which were connected with the alleged misuse of confidential funds.

It was the fourth impeachment complaint that was endorsed by over one-third of lawmakers from the House of Representatives, and was later on transmitted to the Senate.
