Impeachment is a political process, but more than this, it is a mechanism enshrined in the Constitution for holding public officials accountable to the people.
Under Article XI of the Constitution—which covers public accountability rather than the legislative department—the duty to try an impeached official rests in the Senate.
Lawmakers are politicians, and their alliances are well known. Sitting in judgment, however, intrinsically involves impartiality, with decisions based on evidence rather than personal or partisan biases. It may have been a mistake to give senators the responsibility to try and pass judgment on an impeached official; some countries have special courts for this. But the Philippines is stuck with this system, which is specified in the Constitution.
