A group led by left-wing activists has filed a second impeachment complaint against the Philippine vice president over her alleged misuse of government funds and demanded that she be permanently barred from holding public office.

The motion follows a bid on Monday to unseat the VP, who has become mired in a political power struggle with president.

Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte was hit with a second impeachment complaint on Wednesday, as she faces probes over an alleged death threat against President Ferdinand Marcos and use of government funds.
