Senator Francis Escudero urged his colleagues to refrain from commenting on the impeachment case filed against Vice President Sara Duterte.
Escudero emphasized that senators may act as judges in impeachment trials and public remarks could compromise their impartiality.
The impeachment complaint accuses Duterte of violating constitutional provisions, but she has dismissed the claims as baseless.
Escudero reminded legislators of their duty to uphold fairness and due process throughout the proceedings.
Meanwhile, the Vice President’s supporters have labeled the impeachment move as politically motivated.
