Philippine Impeachment: Justice or Political Power Play?

The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte has sparked one of the biggest political battles in Philippine history. Is this process truly about justice and accountability, or is it merely a political weapon used to eliminate rivals?

With the Senate impeachment trial looming, the country is once again caught in a struggle between two of the most powerful political families. If Duterte is convicted and removed from office, she will be permanently disqualified from running for public office, jeopardizing her potential 2028 presidential bid. But is this impeachment genuinely about upholding transparency and good governance, or is it part of a broader political strategy to neutralize opponents before the next elections?

In this episode, former Senator Gregorio “Gringo” Honasan, a veteran lawmaker and military strategist, shares his insights on how impeachment trials in the Philippines have historically been used not just as a legal process but as a political tool.
