FACT CHECK: Sotto did not call for VP Sara's ‘immediate’ conviction without due process

There is no statement or interview on record where Sotto urged the Senate to disregard impeachment trial rules to have Duterte convicted immediately

Claim: Senate President Pro Tempore Vicente “Tito” Sotto III said Vice President Sara Duterte “should be convicted immediately” and that the Senate should no longer follow due process in her impeachment trial.

Rating: FALSE

Why we fact-checked this: A Facebook graphic was posted by user “Eduardo Ortega Jr.” on July 30.

It shows a photo of Sotto with overlaid text, implied to be a quote of the senator: “Dapat ma convict na kaagad si VP Sara Duterte, huwag na natin sundin ang rules.”
