Vice President Sara Duterte announced on February 18, 2026, that she will run for president in the 2028 elections, amid corruption allegations and new impeachment proceedings against her. She highlighted President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s failure to fulfill campaign promises, while the united opposition outlined its own timeline for selecting a candidate.
Experts confirm that former Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla's meeting with International Criminal Court (ICC) officials regarding the case against ex-President Rodrigo Duterte does not violate any laws. The Department of Justice states there is no legal bar to Philippine government coordination with the ICC, despite the country's withdrawal from the Rome Statute. This occurs amid pre-trial hearings for crimes against humanity charges.
