The Philippines' lower house has impeached Vice President Sara Duterte, the daughter of the country's firebrand former president, setting the stage for a rare, high-profile trial in the Senate.

Young lawmakers from the House of Representatives have claimed that Vice President Sara Duterte’s seemingly cool demeanor while discussing her impeachment is just a facade as her statements only reinforce the belief that she is anxious over the issue.

A smiling Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte addressed the public Friday, confident that she would survive the political storm unleashed by her impeachment this week for alleged corruption and other crimes.
