MANILA – The House of Representatives prosecution panel said Thursday Vice President Sara Duterte should be the one called out for allegedly undermining the integrity of the Senate impeachment court through her repeated public statements questioning the impeachment proceedings.
House prosecution spokesperson Rep. Renee Co of the Kabataan party-list made the statement as the Senate impeachment court prepares to rule on alleged violations of Rule 18, which bars parties from making public comments or disclosures on the merits of a pending impeachment trial.
Presiding Judge Francis “Chiz” Escudero is expected to issue the ruling on Monday.
“Ultimately, kung may dapat sitahin ang impeachment court, si VP Sara iyon (if there is anyone the impeachment court should call out, it is VP Sara),” Co said in a briefing.
