Philippine civil society and religious leaders asked Congress on Monday to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte over a list of complaints that include graft, incompetence and amassing ill-gotten wealth while in office.

The daughter of firebrand former President Rodrigo Duterte has been embroiled in a row with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and is the subject of an inquiry into her spending by the House of Representatives. She denies wrongdoing.

Monday’s complainants included civil society and religious leaders, as well as former government officials critical of her father.
