  • Awaiting deadline 55% Procedural Stalling

    The Senate President invokes parliamentary rules to delay voting on the three articles of impeachment, citing the need for further review of new evidence presented by the prosecution. Key Senate blocs agree to a temporary recess to allow for private negotiations, effectively pausing the trial without acquitting or convicting Duterte immediately. Public attention shifts to other legislative priorities as the impeachment process enters a technical limbo.

  • Awaiting deadline 25% Political Compromise and Withdrawal

    Facing pressure from moderate senators concerned about political stability, the impeachment managers agree to withdraw the articles of impeachment in exchange for a formal commitment from Duterte to support specific governance initiatives or face future scrutiny. This political deal removes the immediate legal threat, allowing both sides to claim a victory: the prosecution avoids a likely acquittal, and Duterte escapes conviction.

    In a surprise move driven by intense public outcry over newly leaked documents, a majority of senators vote to convict Duterte on at least one article of impeachment, specifically related to graft or corruption charges. The conviction leads to the immediate removal of Sara Duterte from office, triggering a constitutional succession protocol and causing a sudden shift in executive power dynamics within 14 days.
