The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte in the Philippines is expected to begin on July 6, as confirmed by Senator Erwin Tulfo. During a recent television interview, Tulfo detailed the schedule for the trial, which will commence with sessions on Monday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and resume at 2 p.m. for the rest of the day. The trial will continue on Tuesday and Wednesday with afternoon sessions starting at 3 p.m. and concluding in the evening.
A point of contention among senators involves the participation of Senator Ronald Dela Rosa, who Senator Rodante Marcoleta proposed could attend virtually. However, Tulfo and other members of the minority bloc have expressed their disagreement, insisting that Dela Rosa must be physically present in the Senate. The proposal to amend Senate rules to allow remote participation for senators is currently pending review by the Senate committee on rules. This trial marks a significant political event in the Philippines as it unfolds in the context of ongoing discussions about governance and accountability.
