00:00Some legal experts in the University of the Philippines College of Law discussed various issues regarding the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:10One of the questions was, can the Senate convene as an impeachment court even if the Congress is on a break?
00:16According to Professor Rene Sarmiento, one of the founders of the 1987 Constitution,
00:23it can be done simultaneously with the word, forthwith, or the impeachment process should start immediately.
00:30But the former Senate President Franklin Drilon insisted that the Congress should have a session to convene the impeachment court.
00:37In the middle of the subsequent petitions to the Supreme Court,
00:41it was also asked if the SC could resolve issues regarding impeachment.
00:47According to Drilon, no, because only the Senate has the power in impeachment.
00:52Sarmiento said that the impeachment trial can proceed until it starts.
00:58For the former Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales,
01:02the SC can still resolve impeachment issues even if the court is on a break if there is grave abuse of authority in the case.
