The Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) has called on Filipinos to elect senators who will support Vice President Sara Duterte in her upcoming impeachment trial.
In a February 6 statement, the party emphasized that the Senate’s composition will be crucial in determining whether Duterte is convicted or acquitted.
PDP-Laban warned that the impeachment is politically motivated, aiming to weaken Duterte’s chances of running for president in 2028 and divert attention from national controversies.
The party criticized the House of Representatives for “railroading” the impeachment, which they described as a form of dirty politics.
If convicted, Duterte could be barred from running for future public office, potentially impacting her 2028 presidential bid.
