'Sentiments on Sara impeachment unchanged'

DESPITE the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte, the vast majority of Filipinos remain steadfast in their support for the impeachment of his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, a public opinion poll showed. The survey by Tangere from March 25 to 26 found that 83 percent of respondents have not changed their opinion regarding the impeachment case against the vice president. The poll also revealed that 75 percent of the respondents believe that she should face a Senate impeachment trial over allegations of plotting to assassinate President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., House Speaker Martin Romualdez and first lady Liza Araneta-Marcos. Support for the trial is strongest in Luzon, particularly in Metro Manila, Southern Luzon, Central Luzon and Northern Luzon. In contrast, opposition is most pronounced in the Davao Region and Northern Mindanao, where 17 percent of respondents expressed disagreement. The survey also found that a slim majority — 51 percent — support the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Duterte as filed by Congress. Twenty percent remain undecided, and 29 percent are against impeachment. The strongest support continues to come from Luzon, while resistance is concentrated in Davao and Northern Mindanao. The undecided respondents are mostly from the Visayas. Among the key accusations against Duterte are the alleged misuse of confidential funds allocated to the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education, both of which she oversees. On that particular issue, 54 percent support her undergoing a Senate impeachment trial, while 32 percent oppose it. Concerns over Duterte's Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth have drawn public scrutiny. The survey found that 52 percent of the respondents support an impeachment trial over allegations of unexplained wealth and inaccurate asset declarations, while 34 percent oppose it. The noncommissioned survey was conducted through a mobile-based respondent application, gathering data from 2,400 participants nationwide. It has a margin of error of +/-1.96 percent. The sample was proportionally distributed, with 12 percent from Metro Manila, 23 percent from Northern Luzon, 22 percent from Southern Luzon, 20 percent from the Visayas and 23 percent from Mindanao.
