The Spin

Narrative A

The impeachment represents a necessary step to uphold constitutional accountability and address serious allegations of corruption and abuse of power. The overwhelming House support demonstrates the gravity of the charges, including threats against the president and misuse of public funds.

Narrative B

The impeachment is a politically motivated attack aimed at preventing Duterte from running for president in 2028. The timing of the vote, just before midterm elections, and the rushed process suggest this is more about political maneuvering than genuine accountability.
