A petition seeking the impeachment of Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte received the required support of more than a third of lower-house lawmakers.

A bill of impeachment will go to the upper house, where the 23 senators would serve as jurors in proceedings.

The grounds for impeachment were not immediately clear.

The moves come amid a bitter rift between her and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
