Prosecutor: No need to ask House if it will pursue Sara Duterte impeachment
A member of the prosecution panel stated that the Senate impeachment court need not ask the House of Representatives to certify if it is still interested in pursuing the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.
Bukidnon Representative Jonathan Keith Flores believes the House will act on its own if it decides not to pursue the impeachment proceedings further.
He explained that the House could initiate a discussion on whether to withdraw the case, even if it's not explicitly stated in the rules, as the impeachment has already been filed.
