Former senator Antonio 'Sonny' Trillanes IV and The Silent Majority group filed plunder and graft complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte at the Office of the Ombudsman on January 21, 2026, over alleged misuse of confidential funds. The accusations include P650 million from the Office of the Vice President and Department of Education, along with other anomalies from her past roles. This follows an earlier impeachment dismissed by the Supreme Court in July 2025.
The Sandiganbayan Fifth Division has issued a writ of preliminary attachment against 16 properties of former lawmaker Zaldy Co to secure over P215 million in potential civil liabilities from alleged graft and malversation in a flood control project in Naujan, Oriental Mindoro. The decision was promulgated on March 4, 2026, and made public on March 9. Co faces the charges and has been declared a fugitive after leaving the Philippines before the Ombudsman filed the case in November 2025.
