PROMINENT government opponents in the Hourse of Representatives filed a bid today to impeach Philippine Vice-President Sara Duterte.

The vice-president is facing a legal storm over a death threat she made against President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr, his wife Louise and the speaker of the House of Representatives, Martin Romualdez, the alleged misuse of government funds by her office and other criminal accusations.

The impeachment bid accuses Ms Duterte of violating the country’s constitution, massive corruption and other “high crimes,” including the death threats.
