Impeachment an 'impossible dream’, says SottoSenate President Vicente Sotto III attends the Blue Ribbon Committee hearing on Jan. 19, 2026, resuming the probe into alleged anomalous flood control projects involving Public Works officials, lawmakers and contractors. MANILA, Philippines — Following the Supreme Court (SC) finalizing its ruling declaring the impeachment filed against Vice President Sara Duterte unconstitutional, Senate President Tito Sotto called this an overreach on the high court’s end. “Impeachment is now an impossible dream!” Sotto told reporters through Viber. Sotto had already condemned the previous Congress’ handling of Duterte’s impeachment case. The House and the Senate went back and forth with Duterte’s impeachment after the latter questioned the former’s handling of the case.
