In the Philippines, the removal of the Philippine Senate president allied with former President Rodrigo Duterte has shifted the balance of power ahead of the impeachment trial of Duterte's daughter, Sara Duterte-Carpio. This leadership change in the Senate has raised questions about the stability of political alliances and the strength of institutions in the country.

The Philippine Senate is now preparing for the upcoming impeachment proceedings, which are expected to unfold over the next 2 weeks.
