MANILA — Senate President Chiz Escudero urged his fellow senators to study the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte.
Escudero stated that the articles of impeachment filed by the House of Representatives against Duterte, along with all annexes and evidence, have been distributed to all senators.
He also emphasized that those running for Senate should begin studying the case, in addition to his fellow lawmakers.
The 44-page verified impeachment complaint against Duterte, submitted by the House to the Senate, is now available on the upper chamber’s website.
Escudero announced that the impeachment trial against Duterte will begin after President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA).
He assured that the trial will be held during the 20th Congress to allow sufficient time for preparations.
