A claim circulating online asserts that the Supreme Court (SC) has dismissed the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte following hearings by the House justice panel. This claim is false.
As of April 28, 2026, the Supreme Court has not issued any ruling dismissing the impeachment complaint against Duterte. The House of Representatives has transmitted the articles of impeachment to the Senate, which is constitutionally mandated to conduct the trial. The Supreme Court's role is limited to reviewing procedural matters, not dismissing the case outright.
The claim appears to originate from a misinterpretation of a procedural motion or a fabricated news report. No credible news sources or official statements from the Supreme Court or the House of Representatives support this assertion.
Readers are advised to rely on official announcements from the Supreme Court and the House of Representatives for accurate updates on the impeachment process.
