The Supreme Court declared the articles of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte unconstitutional due to violations of the Constitutional provision against multiple impeachment complaints within a year. The decision noted that the Senate could not acquire jurisdiction over the impeachment proceedings, but did not absolve Duterte of the charges. The Court released guidelines emphasizing due process in impeachment proceedings and affirmed that impeachment is not purely a political process. The House and Senate can file a motion for reconsideration, and the Senate respected the finality of the Court's ruling.
