Another impeachment complaint could be in the offing in 2026, says VP Sara's lawyer

Lawyer Michael Poa, a member of the 16-man defense team for the Vice President, mentioned the “big possibility” that another impeachment complaint will be filed against Duterte by February next year if the Supreme Court (SC) does not reverse its ruling to nullify the impeachment case this year.

“As we all know, the Supreme Court decision really talks about the one-year bar, which means that by February 6, 2026, if in case the Supreme Court does not reverse its ruling, again, there is a big possibility, maybe even a high probability that a second round of impeachment complaints will be filed,” he said in an interview with ANC on Wednesday, Aug. 13.
