Philippine Supreme Court Rejects Impeachment Complaint Against Duterte
The Philippines' Supreme Court made a big decision about Vice President Sara Duterte.
Some people in Congress wanted to remove her from her job, but the court said that wasn't allowed because it was against the rules.
They said the complaints against her, about how she used money and other things, weren't valid.
This means she can stay in her position.
Duterte is the daughter of a former president.
This ruling is seen as good news for her because she might want to be president in the future.
Philippine Supreme Court struck down an impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte.
The Court ruled the complaint was unconstitutional.
Duterte was accused of misusing funds, amassing wealth, and threatening officials.
A conviction in an impeachment trial would have banned Duterte from office.
The ruling could boost Duterte's chances in the 2028 presidential election.
