Mindanao-based lawyers, along with others, have petitioned the Supreme Court to stop the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, claiming the complaint is constitutionally flawed. They argue that the process violated constitutional provisions and failed to follow proper verification procedures, particularly regarding previous impeachment complaints. Despite the objections, the impeachment prosecution team believes the case is valid and within legal bounds. Duterte’s legal team also asserts that the impeachment process is part of the Constitution’s checks and balances, and that she should face trial if necessary. Calls to convene the impeachment court quickly are also growing, with some questioning delays in the process.
