MANILA — The Senate adjourned its session on Wednesday night (Feb. 5, 2025) without addressing the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.
The Senate will resume its session from June 2 to June 13 before the sine die adjournment.
Senate Minority Leader Koko Pimentel said the Senate should have received and reported the articles of impeachment during the session. However, since this was not done, the trial may take place in June.
There is a possibility that the impeachment court could convene even without a session, as long as all the senators agree.
On Wednesday night, House Secretary General Reginald Velasco delivered the articles of impeachment against the Vice President to Senate Secretary Atty. Renato Bantug at the Senate Office in Pasay City.
