By Constitutional law expert Atty. Domingo “Egon” Cayosa said Saturday the Senate may opt to proceed with the trial of Vice President Sara Duterte even though the Supreme Court ruled that the Articles of Impeachment against her violated the Constitution.
Cayosa, a former president of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP), said the legislative may assert its “exclusive power” with regard to impeachment matters.
What remains to be seen, Cayosa said, is the senators’ actions and if they have the numbers to set the trial in motion.
