Today, the Philippine Senate will vote on whether to cancel the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara!
The Philippine Senate will today vote on whether to comply with the Supreme Court's ruling overturning the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte, and it is expected that Congress will have a heated debate between the Duterte camp and the anti-Duterte camp.
Senator Erwin Tulfo said that the Duterte group, composed of Rosas, Bonggo, and Padilla, will definitely clash with the anti-Duterte group, composed of Vincent Sotto III, Risa Hontiveros, Kiko Panganiban, and Bam Aquino.
Tulfo said that today there will mainly be two positions: the Duterte group believes that the Senate should comply with the Supreme Court's decision to avoid a constitutional crisis; while the Sotto group is the opposite, they have signed a Senate resolution draft requesting to delay the vote on the motion to dismiss, in order to wait for the Supreme Court's decision on the House's appeal motion.
"It seems both sides have their reasons, so it will depend on your personal decision, what you think is right."
Senate Minority Whip Jovito Belarde is not part of the Duterte camp, but he believes that before the result of the appeal motion is obtained, the Senate should respect the Supreme Court's current decision.
"Although it is not yet final and enforceable, it is still a general ruling and should guide us during this period."
