2025 impeachment case: A functional dismissal
Manila Bulletin
|June 5, 2025
It has been four months since the Senate received the Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte. While the proceedings will commence on June 11, two days before the Sine Die Adjournment of the 19th Congress on June 13, or even the lapse of the 19th Congress on June 30, the issue on whether the process will continue onto the 20th Congress has yet to be resolved.
The command of the Constitution is clear. Article XI, Section 3(4) provides that "the Senate shall proceed to trial, forthwith" after receiving the Articles of Impeachment. The term "forthwith" is not a suggestion. It is a legal imperative that connotes immediacy. Trial after months of inaction undermines not only this directive but also the due process rights of the respondent and the integrity of the Senate as an Impeachment Court.
