Sara Duterte's office: No info on her whereabouts
MANILA: Vice President Sara Duterte's own office seemed to be unaware of her whereabouts as it failed to provide information on where the country's second-highest government official currently is.
During a press conference, Office of the Vice President (OVP) spokesperson Ruth Castelo was asked about where Duterte is currently located, especially as the Senate impeachment court is set to tackle her impeachment case, following a decision from the Supreme Court which ruled it 'unconstitutional.'
Initially, Castelo responded that the information will still 'have to be verified.'
'We'll get back to you on that before we end this conference,' said Castelo.
She then later responded to the question coyly, stating that Duterte mau just be in her office.
'Who knows, she can just be right in the office—a few steps away,' Castelo said, before once again promising to provide the information before the conference ends.
The press briefing ended without Castelo confirming Duterte's current whereabouts.
The Vice President last arrived in the country on July 28—during President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s fourth State of the Nation Address, which she skipped—after a trip to South Korea.
Duterte was in Marinduque from July 29 to 31 during disaster relief operations conducted by her office in the province.
Duterte herself previously said that she is scheduled to travel to Kuwait on August 8. - Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN

'I wanted bloodbath, but let's prepare for next impeach moves', says Sara Duterte
MANILA: She may not have gotten the 'bloodbath' she wanted from her impeachment trial, but Vice President Sara Duterte (pic) is now focusing on potential future impeachment moves. Speaking to reporters at an interview in Davao City on Wednesday (Aug 6) afternoon, Duterte made her first remarks since the Senate voted to 'archive' the impeachment complaint against her. 'Like I said, I wanted a bloodbath,' she told reporters in Cebuano, a transcript and translation of which were provided by the Office of the Vice President to Manila-based reporters. 'It means that I wanted the prosecution and the defence to show their pieces of evidence so we can see everything. But unfortunately, that won't happen for now.' 'And, of course, like I also said before, we have to prepare for what could possibly happen in the future. Maybe in 2026, 2027, or 2028, someone would again file an impeachment complaint, and that would be another opportunity for us to respond,' she said. Before the Senate deliberated on the Supreme Court ruling that declared the fourth impeachment complaint against her as unconstitutional, the vice president's whereabouts were unknown, even to her own office. One of the petitioners before the Supreme Court, Davao City councillor and lawyer Luna Acosta, posted photos on social media showing Duterte joining the petitioners against her impeachment in a thanksgiving celebration at an undisclosed venue. Also present was lawyer Israelito Torreon, one of the lead petitioners opposing Duterte's impeachment. - Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN

Trump demands new US census without illegal immigrants
US President Donald Trump attempted similar moves in his first term but was blocked by the Supreme Court. (AP pic) WASHINGTON : US President Donald Trump today ordered officials to work on a new census excluding undocumented immigrants, as the White House presses Republican states to draw more favourable voter maps ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Trump called for a 'new and highly accurate' census that he wanted based on 'modern day facts and figures' gleaned from the 2024 election. 'People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS,' he said in the social media post. The US constitution since 1790 has required a census every 10 years that counts the 'whole number of persons in each state' – including people in the country illegally. The next one is not due until 2030, although preparations for the enormous task are already underway. Trump did not make clear if he was referring to the regularly scheduled population count in 2030 or an earlier survey. The census is used to determine how members of congress are elected, and the Pew Research Center estimates that ignoring unauthorised migrants in 2020 would have deprived California, Florida and Texas of one house seat each. It is also used for apportioning votes in the state-by-state 'electoral college' that decides presidential elections and for allocating trillions of dollars in federal funding. Trump attempted similar moves in his first term but was blocked by the Supreme Court from adding a citizenship question to the census. The court declined to rule on whether the millions of people in the country without legal status can be excluded for the first time. Adding a citizenship question would likely undermine the accuracy of the country's population counts, a March study in the Journal of Policy Management and Analysis showed. Experts believe it would discourage households with Latino and Asian-American residents from self reporting. Trump's call for a new census comes with state-level lawmakers and officials in Texas locking horns over proposals for a new electoral map that would likely net Republicans up to five extra house seats in next year's midterms. Republican governors in several other states are exploring new maps ahead of the 2026 elections in a bid to protect the party's razor-thin majority in the house, which would flip with three Democratic gains. Democrats have vowed to retaliate with their own proposals, possibly in New York and California, the country's largest states.

Senate shelves Veep Duterte's impeachment case
Boiling over: Filipinos protesting the Senate's decision to archive the impeachment case against Duterte, in Quezon City. — Reuters Senators voted to shelve the impeachment complaint against Vice-President Sara Duterte, after the top court ruled it as unconstitutional. The motion to archive – approved by 19 of 24 senators – adheres with the Supreme Court ruling voiding the complaint against Duterte, Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva said during livestreamed proceedings. Four senators voted against the motion and one abstained. Wednesday's move renders the impeachment complaint against Duterte as 'dead' unless the top court reverses its ruling. That means that the Senate won't proceed with the impeachment trial against Duterte which was set to begin this month, in yet another relief for the embattled politician. 'Restraint is not weakness. It is obedience to constitutional order,' said Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri, who voted in favour of archiving. The Supreme Court last month unanimously decided that the complaint against Duterte defied the constitutional rule that only one impeachment proceeding may be initiated against the same official within one year. The House of Representatives, which impeached Duterte, on Monday asked the court to reverse its decision. It said impeachment is a process entrusted to Congress, and that the proceedings followed the Constitution. The Vice-President, who is the daughter of ex-leader Rodrigo Duterte, was impeached in February by the House on accusations that include plotting to assassinate President Ferdinand Marcos Jr and misusing public funds. She denies the charges. The vice-president has feuded with Marcos after their 2022 election team-up collapsed due to policy differences and criticisms against each other's families. The Duterte clan showed its political clout during the midterm elections in May, where Marcos' Senate slate underperformed. 'The 1987 Constitution entrusted the duty to try and decide all cases of impeachment to the Senate. Today we are voting to abandon this mandate,' said opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros, who voted against archiving the complaint. 'It is our institution which ... killed the articles of impeachment.' — Bloomberg
