00:00Senate President Chief Escudero says the House of Representatives is bound to accept the Senate motion to remand the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:30The Senate, sitting as an impeachment court, approved the motion to remand the impeachment case to the lower chamber on Tuesday, June 10.
00:42This means the case will be returned to the House of Representatives, mirroring the usual remanding process in legal cases.
00:48But Escudero's belief about the two chambers being unequal is contrary to the position of UP law faculty member and constitutional law expert, Paulo Tamase.
00:57Tamase says the remand violated constitutional structure because the Senate is not supposed to supervise or order the House on what to do in the impeachment case.
01:06Meantime, Escudero also confirms the Senate already sent a summons to the office of the Vice President for Duterte.
