00:00Senate President Chisa Escudero refused the House Impeachment Prosecutors' request for Vice President Sara Duterte to be held accountable for the articles of impeachment against her.
00:11Escudero said that the summons can only be sent to the vice president if the impeachment court has already convened.
00:18It can only be done if the Senate is already in session, which will happen in June.
00:24The Office of the Vice President has already accepted the copy of the motion of the House Prosecutors' Panel regarding the summons.
00:31The field of the visa has not yet been approved.
00:37I will not do anything that is illegal unless a special session is called, which I doubt.
00:42If the Senate has a session, only then can they present articles of impeachment and only then can the impeachment court be convened.
00:53Session is needed during legislative function of the Senate, but session is not needed when it comes to impeachment function of the Senate.
01:23.
