These are some scenes inside the Senate plenary hall before the 18-5 vote was taken. Take note of Villanueva’s moves especially the last photo.

Fr. Flavie Villanueva: In the name of justice that was denied to thousands of families who lost their loved ones due to former President Rodrigo Duterte’s state policy of “kill, kill, kill”, I make this P123 mocking deposit. The “Na 1-2-3” deposit is also a call for vigilance: That’s also a “Na 1-2-3” ni Digong at Sara ang Bayan noon at hanggang ngayon!
Ang tanong kung pwedeng ipagpatuloy ng papasok na 20th Congress—na magsisimula ng termino sa tanghali ng Hunyo 30 ngunit magpupulong bilang isang legislative body sa Hulyo 28—ang proseso ng impeachment o hindi ay nananatiling walang katiyakan.
The question on whether or not the incoming 20th Congress—whose term begins at noon on June 30 but will convene as a legislative body on July 28—could continue the impeachment process remains unsettled.
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.
For sure, the vice president and her camp would use all antics in the book to block the impeachment trial. The time for her to answer the accusations won't come. She may be able to go scot-free on technicalities, but she'd be missing the opportunity to clear her name.
Netizens resurfaced an out-of-context video of former executive secretary Vic Rodriguez supposedly calling Sara Duterte's impeachment.
Prominent lawyer Lorna Kapunan said last week’s election showed an enlightened electorate. The results were both an appeal and demand to current as well as aspiring political leaders for respect. It’s a notice as well to the senator-judges in the Duterte impeachment trial.
