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.
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.
