Cagayan de Oro Representative Lordan Suan has publicly opposed the Senate Majority bloc's proposal for remote voting during the upcoming impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte. In an interview, Suan emphasized that such a method is not included in the established rules for impeachment proceedings, stating, 'Personally, I don't think it should be allowed but that’s up to the Senate to decide.' He expressed confidence that the Senate will make decisions in accordance with the Constitution, while his focus remains on preparing for the trial. Concerns about the implications of remote voting were echoed by other lawmakers, including ACT Teachers party-list Rep. Antonio Tinio, who suggested that it could set a dangerous precedent. The Senate has recently witnessed significant political tensions, culminating in a walkout by the Minority bloc in response to the Majority's push for remote voting. This follows a series of contentious events, including the impeachment of Duterte by the House and a shooting incident within the Senate building, highlighting the charged atmosphere surrounding the impeachment process.
