The Senate has now taken oath at 6:30 pm of June 10 to convene as an impeachment court, following strong calls from church, lawyers, academe and business to pursue the trial on Vice President Sara Duterte without delay.
The lawmakers, ACT Teachers Party-list Representative-elect Antonio Tinio and France Castro, pointed out that this delay coincides with alarming rumors of a possible dismissal of the impeachment case.
The House of Representatives voted before their adjournment on February 5 for the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.
On the heels of impeachment filing against Vice President Sara Duterte and the quad-comm House hearings on the war on drugs and POGO, an ethics complaint was filed against a House member who played a key role in the hearings, ACT Teachers Representative France Castro.
It is inevitable that Vice President Sara Duterte faces an impeachment complaint. The handwriting was on the wall, or rather on the acknowledgment receipts on her confidential funds disbursement which was found to be fraudulent with non-existent people and faked signatures.
