UPDATE: Acting Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian says he will preside over the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte. #VPSaraOnTrial | via @RG_Cruz12479
PH media saved the country once again. When the gunshots were first heard, they knew what to do & still able to deliver raw footage in real time. The Duterte-aligned Senate majority tried to create the impression that they were under attack. The media coverage showed otherwise.
One thing is clear tonight: the Duterte-allied Senate bloc is willing to plunge the institution into chaos and to weaponise fear, all to shield one of their own from accountability.
This is the first time since 1972 that a chamber of Congress was occupied by the military and locked down.
This is the first time in history that gunshots were fired within its halls.
Napaka walang kwenta ni Alan Peter Cayetano to let this happen. Gunshots in the Senate. If anyone dies or gets injured, this is the fault of Bato and Alan Peter. Alan Peter should resign from the Senate.
Ms. Zyann Ambrosio of ABS-CBN News is now crying and scared while delivering her report on TV Patrol tonight!!!
SHUTA PLEASE STAY SA ATING MGA MEDIA PRESS 😭🙏🏻
IMPEACHED! 255 VOTES IN FAVOR. The Senate now must fulfill its constitutional duty to convene forthwith as an impeachment court once the Articles of Impeachment are transmitted.
True talaga to. Ang ganda ng bansa natin, ang funny ng humor natin, dali nating mapatawa, tapos ang sarap ng pagkain dito. Yung gobyerno lang talaga natin 😭
