MANILA, Philippines — House prosecution team member and Bicol Saro Party-list Rep. Terry Ridon on Saturday stated that the panel’s confidence in securing Vice President Sara Duterte’s conviction lies entirely in the evidence they will present, rather than political factors.
He added that their morale does not come from any Senate leadership change.
During the Saturday News Forum, Ridon was asked if there is more hope of Duterte’s conviction in the impeachment trial now that the Senate leadership has reorganized, and senators have installed Senator Sherwin Gatchalian as the new Senate president pro tempore.
“Our confidence in convicting the vice president is not based on the numbers of the Senate or the leadership of the Senate. Our confidence in convicting the vice president is based on the evidence itself,” Ridon said.
