Philippines VP Sara Duterte impeachment hearing turns to unexplained wealth allegations

Wednesday, 22 April 2026, 06:31 · 1 min read

The Philippine House of Representatives (the lower chamber of Congress) held its third day of impeachment hearings against Vice President Sara Duterte on Wednesday, April 22, focusing on allegations of unexplained wealth. The House justice committee is examining Duterte's financial disclosures, tax returns, and company records, and has summoned former senator Antonio Trillanes IV to support claims that Duterte and her father, former president Rodrigo Duterte, held bank accounts containing hundreds of millions of pesos. The hearings, which also follow earlier testimony on alleged misuse of confidential funds, are expected to conclude by April 29, after which the case could proceed to a Senate trial — the only avenue that can result in Duterte's removal from office.
