Over 1.5 million members of religious sect rally to oppose Philippine VP Sara Duterte's impeachment
About 1.5 million supporters of Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte rallied in the capital Manila and other key cities to pressure lawmakers to oppose an impeachment movement against her. The supporters belong to an influential religious sect, the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), that backed the Marcos-Duterte political tandem when they ran together under the theme of unity in the 2022 elections. The INC is known for bloc voting that can swing elections. Political candidates woo the religious sect's leaders each campaign season — from localities to the national level. Buena Bernal reports.
