MANILA, Philippines – The House committee on justice is set to formally adopt Monday its report finding probable cause to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte, paving the way for the transmission of the Articles of Impeachment to the plenary.

Here are the key development expected in today’s hearing and plenary session:
- House panel to adopt impeachment report, Articles of Impeachment
