  "summary": "The Philippine Supreme Court has dismissed three petitions challenging the Senate's interpretation of the voting threshold for convicting Vice President Sara Duterte in her impeachment trial. The court's decision, made en banc, dismissed the petitions on procedural grounds, including lack of standing and prematurity. This ruling clears the way for the proceedings to continue under the Senate's adopted rule, which calculates the two-thirds vote required for conviction based on senators who are legally and factually capable of participating in the proceedings. The decision has significant implications for the impeachment trial, as it affects the number of votes needed to convict Duterte, which could change depending on the availability of senator-judges.",
