On August 6, 2025, the Philippine Senate voted 19-5 to archive the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte, following a Supreme Court decision that halted her impeachment trial on constitutional grounds. The majority of senators supported the motion to archive the articles of impeachment, effectively suspending the case. Senate Minority Leader Vicente Sotto III’s motion to lay on the table a related motion was rejected by the Senate. Senator Ping Lacson abstained from the vote. Senators who opposed archiving cited adherence to the Supreme Court's ruling, which declared the impeachment complaint unconstitutional and immediately executory. The Senate's decision to archive the case returns it to the Supreme Court amid ongoing appeals against the court's ruling. This procedural move complicates the impeachment process, as any potential resumption would require further Senate action. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has stated he has no involvement in the impeachment proceedings. The situation remains fluid, with discussions ongoing about whether the Supreme Court might reconsider its decision and potentially remand the case back to the Senate for further action.
