00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said that he is ready to call for a special session for the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte if the Senate asks for it.

00:13According to former Senate President Franklin Rilon, if the President will do it, it cannot be questioned by anyone.

00:22Daniel Manalastas is in the center of the news.

00:26Is it possible to have a special session for the Senate to start the process of impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte?

00:34Yesterday, Senate President Francis Escudero said that a special session is needed to convene the impeachment court.

00:41Remember that the Senate adjourned on Wednesday and it was not discussed in the plenary.

00:46To convene the impeachment court, the Senate needs to have a session.

00:51For the impeachment of judges, the Senate needs to have a session.

00:57Although the trial can proceed even if it is recessed, just like what happened to the former Chief Justice Corona,

01:07it should start, convene, and convene the judges when there is a session.

01:14So if there will be an action, it will happen on June 2, when the Senate resumed its session.

01:23But according to former Senate President Franklin Rilon, the President can call for a special session in Congress

01:30so that the Senate can fulfill its constitutional duty for impeachment.

01:35The President's call for a special session to discuss impeachment is a sole prerogative of the President,

01:43which cannot be questioned.

01:45But Escudero asked Rilon, what is the problem?

01:49That's why a remedy is needed.

01:51The impeachment of the Senate was adjourned a few hours before they adjourned.

01:55The time is not enough for it to be considered.

01:58In the continuation of the session on June, they will act on it.

02:02They will follow the legal process and they will not hasten or delay it.

02:09President Marcos Jr. was also asked yesterday about the special session.

02:13If the Senators ask for it, yes.

02:16Again, they will decide.

02:19We are not the ones deciding this.

02:23If the Senate President calls me up on the telephone,

02:27the Senators, I talk to the Senators if they can have a special session.

02:30Sure, I will do it.

02:32But if they don't have such a request, it means that they are doing something else.

02:36They're not yet ready.

02:38It is up to them how they decide to have the trial.

02:44When they have the trial, what are the rules for the trial, how they will conduct it.

02:49In order to prove that Vice President Sara Duterte is guilty of impeachment,

02:54Escudero said,

02:56the punishment is to be removed from the position and absolute perpetual disqualification

03:01for holding a public office, legalizing or appointing.

03:05Another question now, how will they choose to replace her in a low-ranking position?

03:10President Marcos can choose a congressman or senator who is 40 years old and above.

03:18After he is elected as his nominee,

03:22he will vote by a majority vote of the House and Senate.

03:29Voting separately.

03:31Simple majority.

03:32Simple majority, voting separately.

03:34President Marcos was the first one to object.

03:37No, the Executive cannot have a hand in the impeachment.

03:40The Executive has no role in the impeachment.

03:43I do not give guidance to Congress.

03:45We are independent of each other.
