00:00The senators' focus and the sending of summons to Vice President Sara Duterte

00:06is the desire of the minority in the Senate regarding the impeachment trial against the Vice President.

00:12President Bongbong Marcos doesn't need to call for a special session for this.

00:19And MAV Gonzales is on the line.

00:24To discuss the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte,

00:28Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel will talk to Senate President Cheese Escudero

00:33to ask for a COCOS or private meeting of the senators.

00:37This is a legitimate political issue for the people.

00:49We admitted that the special session should be held by the majority of the quorum.

00:57Pimentel said that it's not wrong for the articles of impeachment to be transmitted to them

01:03because it's the last day of the session.

01:05But now that it's in the Senate, the impeachment court should convene

01:09even if it's not for litigation, but for the sending of summons or calling for Vice President.

01:15I hope it's in March.

01:16It's already March.

01:17The SP is already prepared.

01:20He already reviewed the rules.

01:22It's easy.

01:23When the court is now in session, we will have an oath.

01:28We reaffirm the existing rules.

01:30If there's a proposed amendment, we will move it.

01:33Then we will authorize the Senate President to send summons to the impeach official

01:40so that the 10 days will be ready.

01:42It's a waste.

01:43Pimentel believes that the impeachment court can convene even if the Congress is not in session

01:48because the legislative work of the senators is not yet divided.

01:52The special session of the President does not need to be called.

01:56Does the President need to call?

01:59What we are convening is the Senate to be an impeachment court.

02:03Therefore, my logical conclusion is that the Senate can do it alone.

02:08Senator Robin Padilla says he will follow the leadership of the Senate.

02:12It's up to the SP to make the decision.

02:15We just follow him.

02:17We do homework on everything that the SP decides.

02:21Only two are in the minority.

02:24That's why it's hard to convince the majority of senators to hold a quorum,

02:28even the re-electionists who need to campaign.

02:31If they will hold a quorum, it's important because it's a matter of concern to the country.

02:35The Senate's duty is important, like impeachment,

02:39because all of these are included in the Constitution.

02:43All of us who work in the government should be accountable to you, to the citizens.

02:49The campaign is on one side.

02:51Impeachment is the priority.

02:53Isn't that a very big ask of your colleagues?

02:56That's part of the job description.

02:58For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales, for 24 Hours.
