No preps for VP Sara’s impeachment in Senate— Chiz
Senate Secretary Renato Bantug has instructed Senate Public Information Bureau (PRIB) staff members to prepare for the possible receipt of the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte.
However, Senate President Francis "Chiz" Escudero stated that the Senate is not preparing for "anything regarding impeachment" and that statements from an unauthorized staff member were not sanctioned.
The Senate is on its last session day before adjourning for the Eleksyon 2025 campaign break.
PRIB staff members briefed the media on coverage instructions for the potential development.
Escudero had previously denied receiving official communication from the House of Representatives regarding impeachment complaints against Duterte.
He refused to comment on the matter until the complaint reaches the Senate, which will serve as the impeachment court.
House Secretary General Reginald Velasco had earlier said he would transmit the three impeachment complaints against Duterte to the Office of the Speaker this week.
Escudero is scheduled to address impeachment questions at the Kapihan sa Senado forum on Thursday.
