Nine out of ten Filipinos (88 percent) want Vice President Sara Duterte to answer charges against her enumerated in the Articles of Impeachment passed by the House of Representatives on and submitted to the Senate more four months ago, according to a Social Weather Stations survey conducted first week of May.

Moves from the Senate under the leadership of Senate President Francis Escudero give the signal that they are either trying to delaying  the start of the impeachment trial or abort the trial before it has started.

The people see an attempt to ignore their desire for accountability and protect Duterte. They are marching and making their voices heard.

Senator- judges better take a lesson from this song by the young French revolutionaries manning the barricades from the musical Les Miserables:,

Do you hear the people sing?

Singing a song of angry men?

It is the music of the people

Who will not be slaves again!
