MANILA, Philippines — The Senate has canceled the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte on Wednesday due to forecast heavy rains brought by the southwest monsoon or habagat.
"In view of the anticipated continued heavy rainfall associated with the enhanced Southwest Monsoon and upon the instruction of the Presiding Officer, the trial scheduled on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, is hereby cancelled," Impeachment Clerk of Court Renato Bantug Jr. said in an advisory.
