In April, the political scene in the Philippines was swept by stormy waves. Vice President Sara Duterte was on "vacation" in Europe, while behind her, the Marcos administration accelerated its crackdown. On April 20, the Audit Commission accused Vice President Sara's office of violating rules involving 448 million pesos in confidential funds, and the impeachment complaint in the House of Representatives added another 6.77 billion pesos in suspicious transactions. On April 22, the Presidential Palace approved Sara's leave to five countries including the Netherlands, which was widely regarded as a "political exile." The moment she left the country, the House of Representatives sped up the impeachment process - on April 29, they found probable cause for impeachment, and on May 4, they voted to submit the case to the plenary.
