00:00A petition was submitted to the Supreme Court to urge the Senate to immediately start the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.

00:09An expert believes that the Supreme Court may not allow this as a violation of the separation of powers of the judiciary and legislative.

00:19Breaking news, Mav Gonzalez.

00:22As the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte continues in the Senate, political instability is on the rise, according to law expert Atty. Domingo Cayoza.

00:34He is in favor of submitting the petition to the Supreme Court to urge the Senate to immediately start the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.

00:43The petition was submitted by the former Special Government Counsel of the Presidential Commission on Good Government, or PCGG, Catalino Generilio, Jr.

00:50It doesn't need to be finished, but at least it should start because they still have three to four months.

00:56The language of our Constitution is clear, forthwith start the trial if they are accepted.

01:03It means there will be no delay. They are using legal doubts or issues.

01:09In fact, it looks like their main reason is the need of the re-electionists, the PAN, while others are afraid of the backlash of black voters.

01:21Cayoza said that now that the Senators have a copy of the articles of impeachment, the copy should be given to VP Duterte.

01:30In the Constitution, the deadline is clear, only 10 days.

01:33Give it to him so that he can answer. Let's find out what his answer is.

01:37They just need to start properly. I'm also unfair to the Vice President in a way.

01:43The complaint is already on the website. It's already in the public domain.

01:48But the other party hasn't given a formal answer yet.

01:51What's happening now are trolls and their interviews in the media.

01:55But in the opinion of Cayoza, the Supreme Court gave the mandamus petition as an excuse for the separation of powers of the judicature and legislature.

02:04The Supreme Court doesn't want a constitutional crisis.

02:07The Supreme Court doesn't care because that's what we call separation of powers and political question.

02:16When will it start? It is up to the wisdom of the elected Senators and your respect for a co-equal branch of government.

02:26Retired Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said earlier that he is not in favor of the petition.

02:32Based on the Constitution, only the Senate has the power to hear and make decisions on all cases of impeachment.

02:39Only when there is a grave abuse of discretion can the Supreme Court come in.

02:45Like during the time of the impeachment of Davide.

02:49It's up to the President to call a special session. You can't just give a mandamus.

02:54We asked Vice President Sara Duterte and Senate President Chase Escudero but they don't have an answer yet.

03:00But Escudero said that he doesn't think that a special session for impeachment is necessary.

03:07The Vice President said that his legal team is preparing for impeachment.

03:12Mav Gonzalez reporting for GMA Integrated News.
