These scenarios are written by an AI language model from the headline and summary above. They are not predictions from the newsroom, and they are not evidence of anything. Every one is given a deadline and checked against later coverage, and the score is published on the ledger — including the ones that miss.

• Awaiting deadline 60% Judicial Dismissal

  The Senate impeachment court rules that the remaining single article of impeachment is procedurally insufficient to sustain the trial, leading to its immediate dismissal. This outcome allows VP Duterte to return to full executive functions without further legal hindrance, effectively ending the political standoff.

• Awaiting deadline 25% Procedural Stalemate

  The Senate fails to reach the required two-thirds vote to convict or dismiss within the initial hearing window, resulting in a procedural deadlock. The trial remains technically open but inactive as both sides negotiate a political compromise, leaving the VP in a state of limbo.

• Awaiting deadline 10% Supreme Court Intervention

  VP Duterte files an emergency petition with the Supreme Court alleging grave abuse of discretion by the Senate. The Court issues a temporary restraining order (TRO) halting all impeachment proceedings, asserting jurisdiction over the procedural validity of the remaining charge.

• Awaiting deadline 5% Counter-Trajectory: Voluntary Resignation

  Facing intense pressure and potential political isolation, VP Duterte voluntarily submits her resignation to the President, citing health reasons or national unity. This abrupt move dissolves the impeachment case entirely as the office becomes vacant.
