The Philippine Supreme Court has unanimously voided the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte, ruling it unconstitutional due to procedural flaws. The decision halts the Senate's planned impeachment trial, but does not exonerate Duterte from the allegations of misuse of public funds and threats against the President. Legal experts and lawmakers are divided, with some warning the ruling undermines transparency and accountability, while others hail it as a victory for constitutional order.
