The impeachment trial of Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte is ongoing in the Philippine Senate, with proceedings continuing into early August 2026. Workers were seen carrying boxes labeled "confidential funds" containing documents for the trial on August 3 in Pasay, Metro Manila.

Analysts have noted that the lengthy nature of the Senate’s impeachment process could ultimately aid Duterte’s political ambitions for the 2028 presidential election rather than harm them. The drawn-out trial may provide her with increased visibility and time to strategize for her future campaign.

The trial is taking place in Metro Manila, Philippines, under the scrutiny of both local and international observers.
