By The Senate on Thursday filed a manifestation before the Supreme Court requesting to be excused from commenting on Vice President Sara Duterte’s petition challenging the impeachment case against her as they will serve as an impeachment court.
In a three-page manifestation, the Senate said that the petition “reveals that it has actually no allegations” against the upper chamber.
“Respondent Senate, which has the sole power to try and decide all cases of impeachment under the Constitution, cannot therefore possibly make a comment on the Petition and thus, asks the Honorable Court that it be excused from submitting the Comment required under above said Resolution,” the manifestation read.
