Hearing on VP impeach complaints may be aired liveVice President Sara Duterte holds a press conference on Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2026 to announce her presidential bid in the upcoming 2028 elections. MANILA, Philippines — The next House hearing on the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte may become the first full live public airing of the initial evidence behind the complaints, Manila 3rd district Rep. Joel Chua said yesterday. The House committee on justice on March 18 found the complaints sufficient in grounds and scheduled the hearings on March 25, and April 14, 22 and 29. Chua said the current process before the House committee on justice allows the presentation and discussion of evidence even before the case reaches the Senate for trial. Luistro told ANC yesterday that the committee on justice is taking a “very conservative” and rules-based approach in handling the impeachment complaints against Duterte to ensure the process is thorough, fair and able to withstand scrutiny.
