  On February 5, the final session day before Congress goes on recess for campaigning, the House of Representatives impeached Vice President Sara Duterte. The Senate then received the articles of impeachment later in the day, an hour or so before the Senate went on recess. Sara Duterte then endorsed the candidates that are going up against those who signed the impeachment complaint against her. On February, Duterte endorsed Team Deretso of the Radaza family in Lapu-Lapu City against Cynthia Chan 's ticket; Chan voted for impeachment, but she is switching places with her husband Junard, the incumbent mayor. On April, Duterte visited the Duranos in Danao, Cebu, but did not endorse anyone. A few days later, Duterte did endorse the Duranos, including Danao city mayor Mix, who is the opponent of impeachment signer Duke Frasco.
  
  In Manila 's 3rd district, Duterte endorsed Apple Nieto, the opponent of Joel Chua, who is the chairman of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability that led the investigations on Duterte's alleged misuse of her confidential funds that led to her impeachment. In the sixth district, Duterte campaigned against Benny Abante, endorsing his opponent Joey Uy. In the 2nd district, Duterte campaigned against Rolando Valeriano; Valeriano was the congressman who delivered a speech that led to the investigation onto the alleged confidential funds misuse.
  
  Duterte also endorsed Dan Lim's slate in Bohol, including congressional candidates Modesto Membreve and McAldous Castañares, opponents of Vanvan Aumentado and Alexie Tutor, respectively. Duterte remarked "I don't let politicians become godparents to my children. You never know when one of them might stab you in the back." One of Aumentado's children has Duterte as a grandmother. In Zamboanga City, Duterte endorsed the Team Zamboanga slate of the Olasos, including the congressional candidacies of Kaiser Adan Olaso and Jerry Perez. In Basilan, Duterte endorsed the Basilan Unity Party slate, including the congressional candidacy of Hanie Bud. In Batangas, Romualdez backed Gerville Luistro against Raneo Abu, who is being backed by Duterte.
