Social media posts claimed that the impeachment trial against VP Sara Duterte will no longer continue. This is not true.
Senate President Chiz Escudero did not help former president Rodrigo Duterte return to the Philippines, contrary to the claim in a TikTok video.
A YouTube video claimed that Senate President Chiz Escudero has junked the impeachment case against VP Sara Duterte. This is false.
The Dutertes are marshalling all their forces to block the impeachment trial. Their battle strategy is not to gather enough votes to block the conviction of the vice president but to PREVENT the convening of the impeachment court and the holding of the trial.
Integrity is not one of Chiz’s talents. We can make him know there is a price to it.
Escudero: Walang sinabing immediately ang Saligang Batas. Ang sinabi ng Saligang Batas ay “shall forthwith proceed with trial.”Dictionary’s definition of forthwith: immediately, directly, instantly, now, without any delay, right away, straightaway, straight off, at once.
Ang anti-dynasty provision ay nasa Bangsamoro law at isang resolusyon ng Comelec. Ang Comelec maging ang transitional Bangsamoro Parliament ay parehong hindi itinuturing na bahagi ng Kongreso.
The anti-dynasty provision is contained in a Bangsamoro law and a Comelec resolution. Neither the Comelec nor the transitional Bangsamoro Parliament are considered part of Congress
A YouTube video falsely claims that newly-elected Senate President Chiz Escudero has been impeached.
Will he last long enough in his new position as Senate president to show his brand of good governance and eventually rise to the presidency?
