00:00The ball of impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte is now in the Senate.

00:05After the official endorsement of the camera from the Senate,

00:09Ma'am Gonzales is live.

00:11Ma'am.

00:15Emil, more than an hour after the camera referred the articles of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte,

00:22the Senate already accepted it yesterday.

00:25At 5 p.m. yesterday, House Section Reginald Velasco arrived in the Senate.

00:33The thick documents of the articles of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte are in force.

00:39This is the last day of the session of Congress today,

00:42before the three-month break for the election.

00:45That's why it's not certain if it will be on the agenda of the discussions today.

00:50It depends on the Senate.

00:52We will respect whatever decision they have.

00:55But it's their constitutional duty to act on this.

01:00Is there a possibility that they will take action in June?

01:04They can convene a court even during the break,

01:12because this is a non-legislative function of the Senate.

01:17The impeachment prosecutors are already in the process of hearing.

01:21It was already formed earlier.

01:23The name of the prosecutors, 11 prosecutors, who are all members of the House, are included in our transmission.

01:32Will it be private?

01:34Yes.

01:35Will it be private?

01:37Yes, it can be private, like in the previous impeachment trials.

01:44Velasco went straight to the office of Senate Secretary Ray Bantug.

01:47It is the ministerial duty of the Senate Secretary to accept the articles of impeachment

01:52and to turn it over to the Senate leadership.

01:55It must be included in the agenda and be read in the plenary before the impeachment court is convened.

02:00Based on the rules of impeachment of the Senate,

02:03Senate President Cheese Escudero will preside over the impeachment proceedings

02:07and along with other senators, they will stand as judges in the impeachment court.

02:12Senator Bato de la Rosa is an ally of the Dutertes.

02:16I'm not denying that I am identified with the Dutertes.

02:21A decision will be made once I have studied the articles of impeachment and the outcome of the trial,

02:31how the prosecution presented their case.

02:34It is still a political issue.

02:36If it will not change, the impeachment court will continue to hear,

02:40except if it is a weekend or holiday, until there is a hearing.

02:43The impeachment court also has the power to call witnesses.

02:54Emil, as of now, there is no fixed date when the impeachment court will convene.

02:58There are many possibilities according to the senators.

03:01One of them is that the session is still ongoing,

03:03so it can still be discussed tonight.

03:05The session can be suspended for now and they will continue it tomorrow.

03:09They can also call for a special session.

03:11Or if it will not be possible,

03:13there will be a discussion here in June after the election break.

03:19Emil?

03:20Thank you very much, Mav Gonzalez.
