Senado, dapat magtipon bilang impeachment court kahit recess, ayon sa impeachment prosecutors

2 days ago

Hindi kailangan ng clamor o panawagan ng marami na simulan agad ang impeachment ni Vice President Sara Duterte, ayon sa isang impeachment prosecutor. Hindi aniya ‘yan ang utos ng Konstitusyon, kaya dapat umanong magtipon na ang impeachment court kahit naka-recess ang Senado.

00:00The impeachment of Vice President Zara Duterte, according to an impeachment prosecutor, did not need a clamor or a call of many.

00:12The order of the Constitution is not arbitrary.

00:15That's why the impeachment court should have a hearing even if the Senate is recessed.

00:21Tina, Panganiban Pere, reported.

00:23Even if the Congress is recessed, the impeachment prosecutors of the Camera are still preparing.

00:32And even if it is recessed, they should convene the Senate,

00:36aside from the position of Senate President Cheese Escudero that it will not happen unless the Supreme Court orders it.

00:43Because it is clear in the Constitution, there are no conditions before convening.

00:50They can have a call for a special session.

00:53The special session does not need to be called.

00:56If we follow the mindset of the Senate, the accountability of public officials is also recessed whenever the Congress is recessed.

01:04Impeachment prosecutor Raul Angelo Bongalon believes that if the impeachment trial will start in March,

01:11it will end before the current 19th Congress closes on June 13.

01:17Escudero said that he will consult the Senators on the recommendation of Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel

01:24that the impeachment court should be recessed from March.

01:29But he did not agree that it can start when they are the only ones who agree.

01:35Because it might question the Supreme Court.

01:38Escudero also said that he received only three letters to urge the immediate start of the impeachment trial,

01:46while asking if this is already a clamor of many.

01:50The impeachment prosecutors answered,

01:52The 240 congressmen who signed for it, each representing their own district,

01:57already reflects a sizable number of the Philippine population.

02:02What kind of clamor are we looking for?

02:04Are we waiting for Iskang Elsa or Rally?

02:09On the anniversary of the People Power Revolution,

02:12along with some protesters, the call to start the impeachment trial immediately.

02:17We had a space to burn the inside of Mama Mea, which VP Saro Duterte already criticized.

02:23But Bongalon said,

02:25Whether there is a clamor or not, the Constitution says that we have an obligation

02:31to work to convene the Senate as the sitting impeachment trial court.

02:38Escudero replied,

02:39They do not have a moral and legal basis to make it easy for the Senate,

02:43especially since the first three impeachment complaints were not acted on by the Camera for several months.
