Key Points

• Malacañang confirmed that President Marcos Jr was diagnosed with diverticulitis, an inflammation of small pockets in the large intestine; this may have been caused by extreme fatigue and stress.
• Despite the President’s condition, hearings on two impeachment complaints filed in the House of Representatives against him are continuing.
• The Supreme Court has upheld its earlier ruling declaring the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte unconstitutional, or contrary to the law.
