Impeached Duterte Won't Rule Out a Run for the Presidency

|February 08, 2025
Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte said Friday she had yet to consider stepping down and was still weighing a run for president despite her dramatic impeachment this week by the House of Representatives.
MANILA:
In her first public comments since the impeachment, the 46-year-old, whose relationship with President Ferdinand Marcos has imploded spectacularly in recent months, said the case was now in the hands of her lawyers.
"The legal team is still preparing the defense and (deciding) what we will do moving forward," she said, adding she had yet to read the charges against her and urging supporters to "have faith" in her final victory.
Asked if she had given any thought to resigning, the vice president said: "We're not there yet, ma'am."
Following the House's impeachment vote, the Senate is due to rule on whether to remove her from office.
