PING: MOTION TO DISMISS VP IMPEACHMENT CASE SHOULD COME FROM DEFENSE, NOT SENATOR-JUDGES

Senator-elect Ping Lacson on Wednesday said that any move to dismiss the impeachment case against Vice President Sara Duterte should come from the defense panel, not from a senator-judge, underscoring the importance of impartiality in impeachment proceedings.

"I would like to believe that a motion to dismiss belongs to the defense panel. And where have you seen a judge moving to dismiss a case?" Lacson said in Filipino during an interview on Newswatch Plus.

He criticized Senator Bato Dela Rosa's call to dismiss the case, noting it was made even before the Senate convened as an impeachment court. Lacson argued that such a move is improper, whether done before or after the Senate sits as a court.

"You are sitting as a senator judge but you already have prejudgment. You haven't seen the evidence yet, but you already formed a judgment and moved to dismiss the case," he said. "Isn't it funny to hear a judge moving to dismiss a case he himself is trying?"

Lacson, who previously served as a senator-judge, cautioned that calls for inhibition over prejudgment could result in fewer than the required 16 votes or two-thirds of all senators to reach a verdict.

He also warned that efforts to block the trial could harm the Vice President by leaving the accusations unresolved in the public eye.

"Some of our countrymen would be thinking the Vice President is guilty because the trial did not push through," he said. "But if all pieces of evidence are presented in an impeachment trial, the public will witness the presentation of evidence and draw their own conclusions on whether the Vice President is innocent or not."

"As potential senator judges, we also want to see the evidence. If it’s not enough, sorry we have to acquit. But if we see the evidence is strong, sorry to the respondent but we have to convict," Lacson added.

'OUTNUMBERED, BUT NOT OUTFOUGHT ✊🏼'

This was how Senator Risa Hontiveros described her fellow senators in a Facebook post, referring to the five senators who stood firm against the motion to return the articles of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte to the House of Representatives.

They were Senate Minority Leader Koko Pimentel, Hontiveros herself, Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian, Sen. Grace Poe and Sen. Nancy Binay.

The motion passed with 18 votes in favor, sending the impeachment case back to the House due to procedural concerns.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. says there is "no controversy" that the impeachment trial of VP Sara Duterte will cross over to the 20th Congress.

God save the Philippines from one Sara Zimmerman Duterte

I saw this video on Instagram and although I rarely share videos like this, I sincerely think it sums up everything that is wrong with the Sara Duterte Holy Week message.

I dare say that she is indeed worse than her father! At least Rodrigo Roa Duterte did not try to package himself as a God-loving person, while Sara Duterte with some obviously fake facial expressions and calm tone of voice just recorded a video. Saying words that obviously do not reflect her values!

I do not know about the flock of Quiboloy or the Iglesia ni Cristo, but the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church value accountability and honesty. Our teaching does not condone killing one person, more so if thousands. It doesn’t celebrate the death of even the most sinful of men, not drug addicts and especially their so-called “collateral damages”.

Her values are the exact opposite of the teachings you must reflect on as Catholics or Christians this Holy Week.

Practice what you preach, Madam!
