Prosecutors drop most impeachment charges against Philippine VP Duterte

A Philippine impeachment court dropped two charges against Vice President Sara Duterte, including an alleged assassination threat against President Ferdinand Marcos. The court left unexplained wealth as the sole remaining count. Prosecutors argued the decision would speed up the trial, which began in July. Duterte faces permanent removal from office if convicted, though she remains the leading candidate for the 2028 presidential election.
