The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte will have to wait at least until June or after the midterm elections, Senate President Francis Escudero said yesterday.

President Marcos yesterday washed his hands of the historic impeachment of his running mate-turned-arch critic Vice President Sara Duterte, saying he cannot stop his allies in the legislature from performing their constitutional mandate and acting on the complaint.

The Commission on Elections is not bothered about the outcome of impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte.

Even before examining the Articles of Impeachment, several senators have announced that they will oppose the ouster of Vice President Sara Duterte by the impeachment court. The statements have led to suggestions that such senators should inhibit themselves from the impeachment trial.
