The Imperative of Justice Why Halcyon Days Are Over for Duterte's Trial*
Trial


As a professional in the circus arts, I'm accustomed to juggling multiple r
responsibilities while ensuring a smooth show. However, when it comes to ma
matters of justice, there's no room for error or complacency. The recent st
statement by Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo Lacson emphasizing his op
opposition to any attempts to stop or delay the Senate from convening as an
an impeachment court for Vice President Sara Duterte has sparked a heated d
debate. In this blog post, I'll present my perspective on why halcyon days 
are over for Duterte's trial and why it's crucial for justice to prevail.

The Constitution is Clear

Article XI, Section 2 of the Philippine Constitution states that the Senat
Senate shall have the sole power to try and decide all cases of impeachment
impeachment. This provision leaves no room for interpretation; the Senate 
has a constitutional duty to conduct an impeachment trial. Lacson's stateme
statement serves as a reminder that the Senate will not stall or delay this
this process, which is essential in maintaining the integrity of our democr
democratic institutions.

The Halcyon Days are Over

In recent years, there have been whispers about the possibility of delays a
and obstructions in the impeachment process. However, with Lacson's commitm
commitment to upholding the Constitution, those halcyon days are behind us.
us. The Senate is no longer a body that can be stalled or delayed; it will 
convene as an impeachment court when the time comes.

The Supreme Court A Safety Net

While some may argue that the Supreme Court should intervene in case of con
constitutional issues, Lacson's statement highlights the importance of the 
Senate fulfilling its duty. The Supreme Court is not a substitute for the S
Senate's role; it serves as a safety net to ensure that the Constitution is
is upheld. In this context, the Supreme Court will only intervene if there 
are clear constitutional issues that require resolution.

The Imperative of Justice

Justice demands that the impeachment trial proceed without delay or obstruc
obstruction. The Senate's duty to try and decide all cases of impeachment i
is not a suggestion; it's a constitutional requirement. Lacson's statement 
serves as a reminder that justice will prevail, even if there are attempts 
to stall or delay the process.

Counterarguments and Rebuttals

Some may argue that the Senate should prioritize other matters rather than 
conducting an impeachment trial. However, this argument overlooks the fact 
that the Constitution prioritizes the Senate's role in trying and deciding 
all cases of impeachment. Moreover, delaying or obstructing the process can
can have far-reaching consequences for our democratic institutions.

Conclusion The Show Must Go On

In conclusion, Lacson's statement serves as a beacon of hope for those seek
seeking justice and accountability. The halcyon days are over; it's time to
to get down to business. As professionals in the circus arts, we understand
understand that the show must go on, even in the face of adversity. Similar
Similarly, the Senate must fulfill its duty to try and decide all cases of 
impeachment without delay or obstruction.

The Final Act Justice Must Prevail

As I conclude this blog post, I'm reminded of the power of justice. Just as
as a well-executed circus act requires precision, timing, and coordination,
coordination, so too does the impeachment trial require that the Senate ful
fulfill its duty without delay or obstruction. The show must go on; justice
justice must prevail.
