00:00Senate President Francis Chief Escudero confirmed that the Senate is preparing for the impeachment trial against Vice President Sardo-Terde
00:07despite being in recess. Escudero stated that since the impeachment complaint has already been filed,
00:12it is certain that an impeachment trial will take place and the Senate must be ready for it.
00:17However, he clarified that the impeachment trial cannot begin until the 20th Congress
00:22officially opens and the 12 newly elected senators assumes the office.
00:26Since the impeachment complaint has already been filed, it is certain that an impeachment trial will take place
00:34and the Senate must be ready for it. We are not wasting our time, even though it is recess, in preparing for it.
00:41Fourthly, within the bounds of law, it is illegal for me to convene today because we don't have a session.
00:49I don't want to rush it because the House of Representatives relaxed for two months and now we are rushing it?
