The leader of the Philippine Senate has signaled there won’t be an impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte, saying a court ruling that voided the complaint should be followed.

“The decision of the Supreme Court is clear: the impeachment complaint is null and void,” Senator Francis Escudero said at a media briefing on Tuesday.
