Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte, whose father is a former president, has been impeached by the House of Representatives amid allegations of multiple crimes. The move paves the way for a trial in the Senate.

The impeachment complaint, the latest of at least four the daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte has faced, was transmitted to the Senate for trial.

The current Congress will be remembered fondly if it does the “heroic act” of impeaching Vice President Sara Duterte, the militant Bagong Alyansang Makabayan said yesterday as it called for a vigil by members and supporters today outside the Batasan Pambansa complex to convince lawmakers to act fast.
