Senators’ robes for VP Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial ready
The Senate has prepared the robes for senator-judges who will preside over the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, with two still awaiting delivery.
Each robe costs approximately P7,000, and the Senate aims to keep overall trial expenses minimal by using existing inventory.
The House of Representatives has impeached Duterte and transmitted the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate, though the upper chamber adjourned without addressing the case.
The Senate plans to convene as an impeachment court on June 3, with the trial tentatively scheduled to begin on July 30.
Vice President Duterte has filed a Supreme Court petition challenging the impeachment complaint's validity, and several groups have asked the SC to halt the trial.
