The duty to try impeachment cases is a constitutional mandate to ensure public accountability (Art. XI, 1987 Constitution). No personal opinion, no Senate rule, and no procedural technicality can defeat that constitutional purpose. I beg to dis-agree with Sen. Francis

Unfortunately there is non. Meaning, there’s no ‘Sue the Senate for Negligence’ clause in the Constitution! However, the other chamber is not helpless. There are political tools: oversight, inquiries or public pressure. Also, the most powerful of all, the people can hold them

There is already a law but it needs to be strengthen and penalties be increased. The main provision on union busting is found in Article 259 (formerly Article 248) of the Labor Code of the Philippines (Presidential Decree No. 442, as amended).

Tama po, si Clinton na-impeach ng 105th US Congress at na-acquit ng 106th Congress. Maliwanag sa kasaysayan at batas: ang impeachment trial ay tuloy-tuloy na tungkulin sa Saligang Batas — hindi ito kayang pigilan ng kalendaryo o ng Senate rules. Sa U.S., kung saan kinopya
