Unpacking the SC decision on Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment case


Listen Later

In a landmark decision that stunned many legal experts, the Philippine Supreme Court dismissed the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte, citing the constitutional "one-year bar" rule. Oscar Franklin Tan, constitutional law expert and former law professor, joins PumaPodcast editor-at-large Jaemark Tordecilla to unpack how the Court’s ruling diverged from the 2003 Francisco v. House of Representatives precedent, an earlier case that had set precedents in impeachment proceedings in the country.


They discuss how the 97-page decision quietly rewrote established impeachment rules without clearly stating it was overturning precedent. The implications could be far-reaching: this ruling may not only tie the hands of the House in holding top officials accountable, but also complicate future impeachment efforts through new procedural hurdles.
