HOW MANY VOTES ARE NEEDED TO CONVICT OR ACQUIT VP SARA?
Under the Constitution, conviction requires a two-thirds majority in the 24-member Senate — 16 votes. Conversely, Vice President Sara Duterte needs at least nine votes to be acquitted and remain in office.
A conviction would mean her immediate removal from the vice presidency and a permanent ban from holding public office.
UPDATE: According to Malacañang, President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. still trusts DILG chief Jonvic Remulla despite recent gaffes on issues concerning ex-congressman Zaldy Co, Senator Ronald dela Rosa, and Interpol red notices.
