Claim 1: “Philippine lawmakers impeach Vice President Sara Duterte”
MISLEADING
The evidence from the South China Morning Post states that lawmakers are 'set to vote' on whether to impeach, meaning the impeachment process is pending or being considered, not that she has already been impeached.

Claim 3: “‘war on drugs’ that killed thousands”
