The Impact of House Won't Rush Senate on Impeachment Trial

The House of Representatives has announced that it will not pressure the Senate to hasten the impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte. According to House Assistant Majority Leader Pammy Zamora, the House has already impeached the vice president and will leave it up to the Senate to convene at its own pace.

Conflicting Rules on Impeachment Trial May Require Supreme Court Clarification

Former Senate President Tito Sotto, who is now a senatorial candidate, highlighted the need for clarification from the Supreme Court regarding conflicting rules on impeachment procedures. He warned that if the Supreme Court ultimately decides it cannot continue, the Senate's proceedings will be in vain.

Senate Impeachment Rules Must Be Updated

Francis Tolentino, an administration senatorial bet, emphasized the importance of updating the Senate's impeachment rules to reflect changes in court procedures and technology.

It's Premature and Unfair for Candidates to Reveal Their Position on Duterte's Impeachment

Makati Mayor Abby Binay, who is also a senatorial candidate, cautioned that it is premature and unfair for candidates to reveal their stance on Vice President Duterte's impeachment without first reading the articles of impeachment.

Need for Legal Experts' Consultation

Senator JV Ejercito emphasized the need to consult legal experts on the matter, suggesting that perhaps they would benefit from seeking guidance from prominent legal figures.

Constitutional Deadline Looms

Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III pointed out that the Constitution requires the Senate to act on any impeachment complaint forthwith. While a one-month delay might be acceptable, he warned that a three-month delay or longer could already violate constitutional requirements.

Recommendations for the Senate

Pimentel suggested that the Senate hold a special session for the trial and prioritize the passage of pending important bills.
