MANILA, July 06 (Reuters): The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, which begins on Monday, is set to frame the Philippines 2028 presidential race and deepen a schism between two storied political dynasties that has plunged the Senate into turmoil.
The outcome will not only determine whether Duterte could run for the presidency, it will also test confidence in the Southeast Asian nation's institutions and politicians. Analysts say the key will be whether the public sees the verdict as credible or instead driven by partisan interests.
