Senate minority nagsumiter og mosyon aron sugdan ang impeachment trial batok VP Sara!
NAGSUMITER ang minorya sa Senado og mosyon aron sugdan ang impeachment trial batok Vice President Sara Duterte!
Giduso kini nilang Senator Risa Hontiveros ug Senate Minority Leader Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel lll.
Nagtinguha ang mosyon nga tugutan si Senate President Francis Escudero nga manumpa isip presiding officer ug magpahigayon og pagpanumpa sa mga senador isip impeachment court judges.
Matud ni Hontiveros nga dili nila tugutan nga ang Senado ang molapas sa constitution.
“..hindi tayo papayag na senado pa ang susuway sa saligang batas. Kikilos kami sa senate minority para simulan namin ang among contitutional na tungkulin. We in the Senate minority will formally move to commence the opening rights in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, Senate minority Leader Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel lll, and I will move to allow Senate President Francis Escudero to take his oath as presiding officer of the impeachment court and to administer the prescribed oath to all members of the Senate as judges of the impeachment court. We will also move for the Senate to convene as an impeachment court and for the articles of impeachment received from the House of Representative last February to be formally presented to the body, wala pa tayo sa trial proper opening rights pa lamang. Panunumpa at pormalidad, hindi ito aabutin ng isang oras. Let’s not pretend that one hour is too much to ask kung ibang panukala sa plenary umaabot tayo sa hating gabii, sa tingin ko kaya nating humanap ng oras para dito…”
Senator Risa Hontiveros
