New Impeachment Bids Fire Up Marcos-Duterte Feud in Philippines

Impeachment efforts against Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his archrival, Vice President Sara Duterte, advanced Monday in a sign their feud is again set to dominate the country’s politics.

Two impeachment complaints were filed with the House of Representatives accusing Duterte, among other things, of misusing government funds. A House committee separately declared two recently filed complaints against Marcos as sufficient in form, meaning they meet a key condition needed to proceed. Both leaders deny wrongdoing.
