MANILA — Senate President Chiz Escudero said on Thursday (February 6, 2025) that there will be no impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte during the Senate’s session break.
“Any actions or developments regarding this matter will happen on June 2, when the Senate resumes after the elections, and that decision will be made by the Senate majority,” he said during the Kapihan sa Senado.
Escudero also explained that an impeachment trial can only be convened in a plenary session.
“For the impeachment court to convene, the Senate must be in session. To swear in the impeachment judges, the Senate must be in session.”
