Abstract

The Supreme Court of the Philippines' nullification of Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment has exposed serious cracks in the Philippines’ constitutional order. Legal experts and civil society leaders warn that the legislature and judiciary have weakened political accountability by sidelining clear constitutional processes, setting dangerous precedents that future officials could exploit to evade scrutiny.
