DAVAO CITY (MindaNews/12 May 2026)— Lawmakers from Mindanao were divided during the House vote last Monday, May 11, on the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte, showing that lawmakers from Duterte’s supposed political bailiwick did not vote as a single bloc.
Out of 318 House members, 257 voted in favor of impeachment, 25 voted against, nine abstained, while the remaining members either did not participate or were absent during the proceedings.
Of the 60 Mindanao lawmakers counted, 41 voted ‘yes’, eight voted ‘no’, four abstained, and seven did not participate.
The House vote effectively transmits the impeachment complaint to the Senate, which is expected to convene as an impeachment court ‘forthwith’.
If the trial proceeds, Duterte would become the first vice president in Philippine history to face impeachment before the Senate.

While Duterte continues to enjoy strong public support across Mindanao, Monday’s vote suggested that support among political elites may not be as unified as before, particularly amid the deepening rift between the Duterte and Marcos political camps ahead of the 2028 elections.
