The article clarifies that a video circulating online falsely claims the Supreme Court (SC) has issued an order to nullify the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte.This claim originated from a misinterpretation of a 2025 SC decision related to a previous impeachment petition.The SC denied a petition filed in February 2025, which sought to compel the Senate to act on Duterte’s impeachment case.The decision emphasized that the Senate acted within a reasonable timeframe, as per the Constitution’s 'forthwith' clause.However, this ruling does not affect the ongoing impeachment trial in the Senate, which is based on new complaints filed in February 2026.Duterte faces allegations of misuse of funds, unexplained wealth, bribery, and threats against political figures.The article underscores the importance of verifying claims, as the video has been shared widely on social media, potentially misleading the public.It also notes that Duterte was impeached twice by the House of Representatives, with the SC previously deeming the 2025 impeachment unconstitutional.

The current trial, starting in July 2026, is distinct from the earlier case, highlighting the complexity of legal proceedings against high-profile figures.
