00:00Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel urged Senate President Cheese Escudero to immediately start the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.

00:11Pimentel said, it is the duty of the Senate under the Constitution.

00:16Ma'am Gonzales was there.

00:22Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel wrote

00:25Senate President Cheese Escudero urged Senate President Cheese Escudero to immediately start the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.

00:33In the letter, the provision of the Constitution stated that the Senate should conduct an impeachment trial if it receives articles of impeachment from the Camera.

00:43It means that the fourth with should be done immediately.

00:46Senator Risa Contiveros supported this.

00:49It is clear to us that once the articles of impeachment are transmitted to us, like what happened, we will immediately convene.

00:58Escudero did not respond.

01:00She immediately said that the Senate should start the trial when it receives the articles of impeachment.

01:07But they have not yet agreed to convene as an impeachment court and to discuss while the session of Congress is adjourned.

01:14Upon the return of the session, rules need to be approved and the proceedings of the prosecution and the camp of the Vice President should be replaced.

01:20For Senator Aimee Marcos, the Constitution is not immediate and there is a petition in the court related to this.

01:27If it works, she will not inhibit the Senator even if she knows Vice President's friend.

01:33I don't think it's necessary. You can be close to a person. I'm very close to the President as well. He's my brother.

01:39We are fully aware of our duties as Senators and we'll study all the evidence that will be provided and rule and vote on all that.

01:53Senator Bato de la Rosa will also wait for the Supreme Court's decision if the impeachment trial should start immediately.

02:00I think the Supreme Court can interpret the Constitution. If they give the right interpretation of the Constitution,

02:08I don't think the Supreme Court will direct us to do our job. Aside from our Senate President, we will do that job in the proper time.
