Philippines Senate to Dismiss Impeachment Case Against VP Duterte

Philippines Senate to Dismiss Impeachment Case Against VP Duterte The Philippine Senate is poised to dismiss the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte due to a resolution initiated by Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa. The resolution argues that the current Congress lacks the time to properly deliberate on the impeachment articles before the next Congress convenes. This decision has sparked debate among senators. Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri expressed his reservations about the resolution, stating, "While I respect Senator Dela Rosa's initiative, I believe that a thorough investigation is essential before dismissing such a serious matter." Senator Jinggoy Estrada, however, voiced his support for the resolution, stating, "It is our Constitutional duty to ensure that justice is served, but we must also adhere to the rules and regulations of the Senate." The video includes clips from the Senate session, showing the senators' reactions and discussions. The report also features interviews with Senator Dela Rosa and Vice President Duterte, providing their perspectives on the situation. The resolution highlights the constraints of the current legislative session and the need to respect Senate rules regarding the timeline of impeachment proceedings.
