The Senate has no power under the Constitution to "dismiss" the articles of impeachment. It must hold trial, and afterwards, vote to either convict or acquit. Pero mukha namang wala talagang pakialam sa Saligang Batas itong si Sen Dela Rosa eh.

From "de facto dismissal" to a "remand" back to the House. Andaming iniimbento ng mga senador na ito para lang iwasan ang impeachment trial. Pwede ba sumunod na lang kaya sa Saligang Batas? Haaaay.

Grabe tong kaduwagan na ito.

ICC denies Duterte's challenge to its jurisdiction. So eto ay isang trial na matutuloy na. Yung isa kasi pilit pa ring dinidribble.

Kinancel na ni Escudero ang hearing ngayon. Kung hindi ito delay, eh ano ang itatawag natin dito? "Mabilis na aksyon?" 🙄 Harapan at lantarang lokohan na lang talaga ito. This Senate has really and truly sunk so low.

The House response was swift, reasonable, and dignified. Maayos, kahit kung tutuusin, binastos sila ng Senado with that insulting and unconstitutional "remand." This restores some sanity to a process that went off the rails after the embarrassing spectacle at the Senate.

Says the person who still refuses to speak out against Chinese encroachment in the West Philippine Sea.

This is heartbreaking. Earning my LLM at NYU under a Fulbright Scholarship was a life-changing experience that I will always be grateful for. I empathize with the hundreds of scholars from all over the world who are now being denied this opportunity.

Kung AI-generated yung video ibig sabihin peke. Kung ang "message" mo ay batay sa pekeng video ang tawag sayo sinungaling. Gets? 🙄

So, malinaw: okay lang sa mga Duterte at kanilang mga kampon ang gumamit ng AI para mag-imbento ng pekeng video, pekeng kuwento, pekeng supporter. Wala talagang "H," ano?

Sarap talaga nang madaming free time, 'no? 💆‍♂️

Ninanakaw ang dagat natin tapos hindi natin problema? 🙄 Huwag na please magtago sa likod ng "independent foreign policy" kiyeme n'yo. Sobrang linaw na naman na pro-China lang talaga kayo.

She wants the articles of impeachment "dismissed" without going to trial kasi ayaw niyang mailabas at maipakita sa tao ang ebidensiya. Same reason why her Senate allies are so desperate to avoid a trial.

Anong constitution kaya ang binabasa nito?! 🤨

This is correct. The House determines if an impeachable offense has been committed. The matter is then brought to the Senate, which must "forthwith" conduct a trial and vote to convict or acquit. The Senate has no power to review the sufficiency of charges and order a dismissal.

Lumabas na sa wakas ang hatol. Hindi Pilipino si "Alice Guo." This would not have been achieved without the hard work of Senators risa hontiveros and Win Gatchalian. Grateful for the reminder that we still have senators who do their jobs and stand up for the Constitution.

Malinaw naman talaga ang Konstitusyon eh: The Senate has to "try and decide," meaning receive evidence and then vote to convict or acquit. Escudero, et al are just insisting on a strained interpretation for their own political ends.

Nagugulat pa ba tayo? Klaro naman that so many members of this Senate have absolutely no sense of urgency as regards the impeachment trial.

My South China Morning Post today - Criminal law prof Barry Gutierrez explains why Sasot isn’t free from the suit even in Beijing. Vergel Santos suggests how Sasot’s “malice” can be proven. Jay Tarriela says accusations have “absolutely” taken an emotional toll. scmp.com/week-asia/poli…

Cong Leila de Lima is absolutely correct. The House initiates impeachment. The Senate tries and decides, "forthwith." Two co-equal bodies performing their respective tasks. The Senate does not "check" what the House has already decided. Ano to, homework?
