00:01Did you know the impeachment case against Vice President Sarah Duterte might already be dead before it even starts?
00:09Election lawyer Romulo Macalental says time, not politics, could doom the case.
00:15Even with 215 lawmakers endorsing it, the Senate's term ends June 30th, and they just don't have enough time.
00:24By law, all pending cases die when Congress adjourns.
00:27The new Senate, they can't just pick up where the old left off.
00:33Here's the twist.

00:39So if they try again, it's blocked. Period.
00:43So even if the Senate wants to act, they hit a legal wall.
00:48Political will doesn't matter.
00:50When the clock and Constitution say no, will they pull off a miracle?
00:54Or is this game over for the impeachment?
