Senate President Chiz Escudero has called on his fellow senators to refrain from making public statements regarding the potential impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.
The controversy stems from Duterte’s remarks involving President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez, which reportedly triggered discussions of impeachment.
Escudero, addressing the issue on Thursday, emphasized the critical role of senators as future jurors in any impeachment trial.
He warned that public commentary from lawmakers could taint the integrity of the impeachment process.
The issue has sparked heated debates, with critics accusing the Vice President of overstepping political boundaries, while supporters argue that her remarks were taken out of context.
