最高法院维持2025年的裁决:VP Sara Duterte的弹劾申诉因违宪被驳回。 Supreme Court upholds 2025 ruling: VP Sara Duterte’s impeachment complaint dismissed as unconstitutional.

最高法院于2026年1月29日一致驳回众议院关于重新审议的动议,维持2025年7月的裁决,即对副总统萨拉·杜特提出的第四次弹劾申诉不符合宪法。 The Supreme Court on January 29, 2026, unanimously rejected the House of Representatives' motion for reconsideration, upholding its July 2025 ruling that a fourth impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte was unconstitutional. 法院裁定该申诉违反了《宪法》的一年期限,因为前三次申诉由于提交司法委员会或在10个开庭日内没有被列入众议院的议事次序而被视为“发起”的。 The Court ruled the complaint violated the Constitution’s one-year bar, as three prior complaints were deemed "initiated" due to being referred to the Committee on Justice or not placed on the House’s order of business within 10 session days. 该决定结束了所有进行弹劾的法律努力,申明弹劾是一项宪法程序,要求严格遵守正当程序,只要符合《宪法》,众议院可制定自己的规则。 The decision ends all legal efforts to pursue impeachment, affirming that impeachment is a constitutional process requiring strict adherence to due process and that the House may set its own rules as long as they comply with the Constitution. 裁决是最终的,可立即执行。 The ruling is final and immediately enforceable.
