Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos ‌Jr. ​avoided impeachment on Tuesday, a ‌largely expected outcome after allies in the lower house ​of Congress voted overwhelmingly to dismiss the complaints against him. The vote came a week after ‍the House of Representatives’ justice ​committee dismissed two impeachment complaints against Marcos, saying they lacked substance. Marcos ​was accused ⁠of betraying the public’s trust, committing graft and corruption, and violating the constitution. “The impeachment complaints filed against the president, Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ R. Marcos Jr. are hereby dismissed,” House Deputy Speaker Janette Garin told House members. Following the dismissal, impeachment efforts now ‌shift toward Vice President Sara Duterte, who is facing another round of complaints ​after ‌surviving a similar bid ‍last year.
