This week brought major developments in Cebu and across the Philippines, from government accountability and the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte to severe weather, public safety, and community concerns.

In Cebu City, the Senate investigated the deadly Binaliw Sanitary Landfill landslide, while officials pushed for stronger recycling and composting programs. Meanwhile, heavy monsoon rains caused widespread flooding in Cebu City and Mandaue, renewing calls for better drainage and flood control.

The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte remained a major national story, with the Senate approving several subpoenas and hearing testimonies related to controversial statements involving President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and other officials.

Cebu also saw several major incidents, including a motorcycle crash involving Dumanjug Mayor Gungun Gica, a fatal stabbing in Camotes, a hit-and-run in Lapu-Lapu City, and other deadly road and assault cases.

Nationally, tensions continued in the West Philippine Sea, while authorities dealt with concerns involving child protection, human trafficking, online exploitation, illegal drugs, and cybercrime.
