The Supreme Court has ordered Congress to provide detailed information about the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, focusing on procedural and due process issues.
The court consolidated two petitions challenging the constitutionality and validity of the impeachment complaints against Duterte.
It asked the House of Representatives to clarify the status of the first three complaints, their transmission, and whether proper procedures were followed before endorsing the fourth complaint to the Senate.
The Senate was also directed to explain how the impeachment articles were drafted and whether Duterte was allowed to defend herself.
Congress and the Senate have been given 10 days to respond, with both chambers committed to complying with the court’s order.
