The Senate may convene as an impeachment court this month and start a full trial of Vice President Sara Duterte in June, Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo Lacson said. This timeline depends on the House of Representatives approving the complaint. Duterte faces accusations of misusing confidential funds and other charges.

The House justice committee unanimously voted on April 29 to find probable cause to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte based on two complaints. The complaints will be consolidated before transmission to the House plenary. If approved, Duterte would become the first Philippine official impeached twice.

Jorge Messias, Avvocato Generale dell'Unione brasiliano nominato da Lula per la Corte Suprema Federale (STF), ha superato il voto della Commissione Costituzione e Giustizia (CCJ) del Senato con 16 voti a favore e 11 contrari, al termine di un'audizione durata otto ore. Il voto, il più serrato dall'epoca della ridemocratizzazione, ha incontrato resistenze, in particolare da parte del presidente del Senato Davi Alcolumbre. Ora necessita di 41 voti nell'aula del Senato per coprire il posto vacante lasciato da Luís Roberto Barroso.
