00:00Meanwhile, a senator said the upper chamber can start the impeachment trial of Vice President

00:05Senator Duterte as early as next month, this even though Congress is on break.

00:10Senate Minority Leader Carl Pimentel insisted the upper chamber should not wait for the

00:15session to resume on June 2, given how it goes against the context of forceful action

00:20on the impeachment complaint as stated in the Constitution.

00:24According to Pimentel, under Section 11 of the Senate Resolution Adopting the Rules of

00:28Procedure on Impeachment Trials, nothing says the Senate should be in session as a

00:33legislative body to convene as an impeachment court.
