Philippine Vice President Duterte will seek presidency in 2028 but faces impeachment bids

Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte says she will seek the presidency in the 2028 elections. Her bid would have to withstand new impeachment attempts and criminal complaints that could ban her from public office if convicted. She made the announcement Wednesday in a televised speech where she renewed allegations of corruption and misrule against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. They have had a bitter falling out since their 2022 election victory. She and her family have blamed Marcos for the detention of her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, who faces a potential trial for crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court. Marcos is limited to a single, six-year term.
