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.
Vice President Sara Duterte stated that the result of her impeachment case is in God’s hands as the House of Representatives prepares for a plenary vote on May 11.
