MANILA, Philippines — A shocking new survey shows that almost 3 out of 4 Filipinos (73%) believe that Vice President Sara Duterte should face a Senate impeachment trial. The reason? She is accused of planning to hire someone to assassinate President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez! 😱
🔎 Survey Findings
The survey was done by Tangere, a research firm, from February 10 to 12, 2025. They asked 2,400 people across the country using mobile phones.
Here’s what they found:
✔️ 51% of Filipinos support the impeachment case filed against Duterte.
✔️ 22% are still unsure.
✔️ 27% do not support the impeachment.
Most people who support the trial are from Metro Manila, Southern Luzon, Central Luzon, and Northern Luzon. However, Mindanao—especially Davao and Northern Mindanao—strongly opposes it because it is Duterte’s political stronghold.
💰 Other Accusations Against Duterte
Aside from the assassination plot, Duterte is also accused of:
📌 Misusing confidential funds from her office and the Department of Education (DepEd) when she was Secretary.
📌 Lying about her assets, liabilities, and net worth (SALN).
📊 Survey results on these issues:
✔️ 53% say she should face trial for fund misuse.
✔️ 30% disagree.
✔️ 51% think she should also be investigated for the SALN issue, while 33% oppose it.
