The House of Representatives elected an 11-member prosecution panel that will handle the expected impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte once the Senate convenes as an impeachment court. The team includes Reps. Gerville Luistro, Chel Diokno, Leila de Lima, and eight other lawmakers, with six of them also serving in the previous impeachment proceedings in 2025. The move comes despite the Supreme Court of the Philippines ruling last year that the earlier impeachment against Duterte was unconstitutional.
