00:00Congresswoman-elect Laila De Lima of ML Party List says Thursday, May 29, that there are rumors the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte might not happen.
00:10But De Lima insisted lawmakers should not abandon the process.
00:14She said this a few hours after Senate President Cheese Escudero informed House Speaker Martin Romualdez of the change in the trial schedule.
00:21May mga bulong na hindi na raw uusad ang impeachment case laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:28Dead on arrival daw, kulang daw sa boto, tapos na bago pa magsimula.
00:36De Lima and her political ally, Congressman-elect Chelle Diocno of Acbayan Party List, have been taught by Romualdez to join the prosecution panel.
00:43They will replace two lawmakers who weren't re-elected.
00:46There have been many questions as to whether the 19th Congress' impeachment articles may carry over to the 20th Congress.
00:52The House impeached Duterte in February for alleged betrayal of public trust, violation of the Constitution, bribery, graft and corruption, and other high crimes.
