Impeachment bid against Philippine President unlikely to succeed but could still hurt him, say analysts


MANILA: Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr (pic) is facing impeachment over allegations ranging from how the transfer of former president Rodrigo Duterte to the International Criminal Court (ICC) was handled, to claims of kickbacks linked to flood-control projects.

While the impeachment complaint, the first against Marcos, is widely expected to fail, analysts say its filing is politically significant, as it could weaken Marcos’ standing.
