The articles of impeachment were approved during the House plenary Wednesday and transmitted to the Senate on the same day, just before both chambers adjourned for the election campaign.

A total of 215 out of 306 members of the House voted for impeachment, higher than the one-third requirement for the complaint to be transmitted to the Senate for trial.

A guilty verdict will mean Duterte’s removal as vice president and ineligibility to hold any public office.
