菲律宾最高法院驳回诉请：莎拉弹劾案表决门槛争议落定，审判进入第32天
10月1日，菲律宾副总统莎拉·杜特尔特弹劾案再迎关键程序节点。据《马尼拉时报》10月1日头条，最高法院驳回了针对参议院（作为弹劾法庭）表决门槛决定的多项诉请，法院发言人表示，相关表决结果为全体一致。这意味着参议院此前关于定罪所需票数的裁定站稳了脚跟，审判得以按现行规则继续推进。
同一天，弹劾审判进入第32天。据ABS-CBN新闻频道（ANC）10月1日的要闻梳理，弹劾法庭提前结束了原定的马拉松式听证首日，以便辩方有更多时间准备应对反洗钱委员会（AMLC）证人的证词；众议院检方两名土地登记处官员作为证人出庭，前参议员安东尼奥·特里兰尼斯则被检方从证人名单中撤下。
莎拉·杜特尔特是前总统罗德里戈·杜特尔特之女，被控背叛公众信任、聚敛不明财产、违反宪法以及贪污受贿等。她若被定罪，不仅将被免职，还可能被终身禁止担任公职，从而断送2028年竞选总统之路；她本人否认全部指控。
同一天的菲律宾还传来民生消息：总统府呼吁公众面对可能到来的超级厄尔尼诺无需囤水，气象部门预计雨季将在10月第一周结束。政治审判与民生天气，将共同构成这个十月菲律宾的两条新闻主线。
Philippine Supreme Court Junks Petitions on Impeachment Vote Threshold as Sara Duterte Trial Reaches Day 32
The impeachment trial of Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte hit a key procedural milestone on October 1. The Manila Times led its October 1 edition with the Supreme Court's dismissal of petitions challenging the Senate impeachment court's decision on the voting threshold, with a court spokesperson saying the vote was unanimous. The ruling leaves the Senate's conviction-threshold decision intact and lets the trial proceed under its current rules.
The same day, the trial entered its 32nd day. ABS-CBN News Channel's October 1 roundup reported that the impeachment court cut short the first day of its marathon hearings to give the defense more time to prepare for testimony from the Anti-Money Laundering Council, that two Register of Deeds officials testified for the House prosecution, and that former senator Antonio Trillanes was dropped as a prosecution witness.
Sara Duterte, daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte, is accused of betraying public trust, amassing unexplained wealth, violating the constitution, and graft and bribery. Conviction would remove her from office and could bar her from public office for life, ending a possible 2028 presidential run; she denies all wrongdoing.
October 1 also brought household news: the presidential palace told the public there was no need to hoard water despite fears of a looming super El Nino, and the rainy season was expected to end in the first week of October. The political trial and the weather will be the Philippines' twin storylines this month.
